About the location

Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne
Place de la Libération, 21000 Dijon
  • Côte-d'Or
  • Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
The palace of the dukes and the states of Burgundy in Dijon in Côte-d'Or is an architectural ensemble with several interlocking parts: the oldest is the ducal palace of the XIVth and XVth centuries, of Gothic style, which still includes a dwelling (well visible from the Place des Ducs), the ducal kitchens (Bar courtyard) and two towers: the tower of the terrace, or tower Philippe le Bon and the tower of Bar. Most of the buildings visible today, however, were built in the seventeenth and especially eighteenth centuries, in a classical style, with the design of the royal square, today Place de la Libération. Finally, the facade of the Museum of Fine Arts, on the Place de la Sainte-Chapelle, was built in the 19th century on the site of the Sainte-Chapelle de Dijon destroyed in 1802\. This complex, in a remarkable state of conservation, bears witness to almost a millennium of political life in Dijon. The Palace was one of the seats of the sovereigns of the Burgundian State, the Dukes of Bu
