The palace of the dukes of Burgundy is one of the most important historical landmarks in eastern France and a powerful symbol of the former prestige of the region. The palace was once the residence of the powerful dukes of Burgundy and reflects the political and cultural influence they held in Europe during the late Middle Ages.
Originally built in the 14th and 15th centuries the complex was later expanded with classical elements creating a harmonious blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture. The elegant façades and the impressive Tour Philippe le Bon offer visitors a glimpse into the splendor of ducal life.
Today the palace houses the renowned Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon : one of the oldest and richest art museums in France. Inside visitors can admire an exceptional collection ranging from medieval sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces including the famous tombs of the dukes of Burgundy.
Located in the heart of Dijon the palace remains a vibrant cultural center, connecting the illustrious past of the city with its dynamic present.
