Burgundy’s dukes used to call this showboat home. Now, it houses city hall and all its requisite administrative offices in the west wing and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in the east wing.
The structure was originally built as a simple fortress built in the 9th century. Philippe the Bold rebuilt the ducal dwelling place in the 14th century to include several apartments, then dukes added expansions. The neoclassical façade was added in the 17th and 18th centuries.
