Le square fait face à la paroisse Saint-Laurent, dont les fondations remplacent celle d'une église détruite par les normands en 885. Une nouvelle église fut construite en 1180, qui, devenue trop petite, fut remplacée par l'église actuelle du début du XVe siècle. Sa façade, reconstruite au XVII^e dans le style classique, diffère du style gothique-flamboyant original de l'église.

(English translation:)

The square faces the parish of Saint-Laurent, whose foundations replace that of a church destroyed by the Normans in 885. A new church was built in 1180, which, having become too small, was replaced by the present church from the beginning of the fifteenth century. Its facade, rebuilt in the 17th century in the classical style, differs from the original Gothic-flamboyant style of the church.

Erected by Ville de Paris.
