Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, Gothic palace in central Dijon, France.
The Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy is a Gothic building in central Dijon with grand halls, administrative rooms, and a tall watchtower. The tower offers views over the city and the surrounding countryside.
Construction of the palace began in 1364 as the residence of the Burgundian dukes and was the center of their power in the region. Major renovations and expansions took place later and shaped the building seen today.
The building now houses an art museum displaying works from different periods that tell the story of the region. The collections show how this place reflected the power and wealth of medieval rulers.
You can visit the interior with guided tours and climb the tower to enjoy the view. The museum rooms can be visited on most days of the week.
The medieval ducal kitchens in the palace are still preserved and show the scale that royal hospitality reached. These kitchens prepared meals daily for hundreds of court members.
