Hôtel de Sassenay, Historical mansion in central Dijon, France.

The Hôtel de Sassenay, also called Hôtel le Compasseur, stands at 3 rue Berbisey in Dijon. Its long facade is divided by a three-bay central projection carrying a tall round arch, with a relief of King Louis XIV above the main portal. A five-sided tower from the 15th century is built into the outer wall, and the building is set back from the street behind a courtyard.

The building's core dates to the Middle Ages; after falling into disrepair, it was rebuilt by the Compasseur family at the end of the 17th century. The five-sided tower built into the outer wall is the only surviving 15th-century element, left unchanged during that reconstruction. The facade has been listed as a monument historique since 1910.

The residence reflects how wealthy parliamentary families shaped their living spaces in 17th-century Dijon. The building shows the taste and priorities of people who held power in the region's judiciary.

The mansion is a private residence at 3 rue Berbisey and is not open to visitors; the courtyard and interior cannot be visited. The facade, the round-arched gateway and the 15th-century pentagonal tower can be seen from the public street. The building is listed as a monument historique, and details are recorded in the Base Mérimée of the French Ministry of Culture.

The five-sided tower built into the outer wall is the only part that survived from the 15th century; the Compasseur family left it unchanged when they rebuilt the house at the end of the 17th century. Above the central portal, a relief of King Louis XIV is set into the facade.
