Description
Hôtel Aubriot is a private mansion in Dijon with a cellar spanning multiple bays and supported by octagonal pillars. The ribbed vault structure demonstrates the quality of medieval construction technique.
History
Construction of the mansion began in the early 13th century as Dijon's urban development expanded. The building underwent major renovation in the 18th century to meet contemporary needs.
