 AMBOISE HOUSE ALSO CALLED DE ROSE Listed Building - Early 16th century 52000 LANGRES GPS : 47.864488,5.335724   Tel. : 03 25 87 67 67 Fax : 03 25 87 73 33 Mail : info@tourisme-langres.com This house was probably built by Jean d’Amboise, Dean of the Chapter and then Bishop of Langres from 1496 to 1510. It is the first known appearance of Renaissance architecture in Langres. Its sculpted pilasters in low relief and the frieze, bearing arms of the Amboise family, are borrowed from the Italian Renaissance. The original roof was probably more slender and decorated with dormer windows, respecting the gothic aesthetic which was still in vogue. This facade, which gave initially on to a large garden leading up to the cathedral, became visible with the opening of the road at the beginning of the 20th century. Its current name is due to the marquis de Rose who was the owner in the middle of the 19th century. Telephone mobile 03 25 87 67 67 Dates and Times of opening Free access all the year.
