history
The Place Franz-Liszt was built from 1822 on the site of the former Saint-Lazare monastery , which had been expropriated during the secularization . Construction speculators who had bought up the site agreed with the city of Paris to develop the district and to set up new streets and the new square. This was given the name of King Charles X in 1825. After the July Revolution , the square was named Place La Fayette , in 1842 the name Place Bossuet and a few years later it was renamed Place La Fayette again. In 1962 the square was given the current name Place Franz-Liszt in memory of the composer Franz Liszt , who had temporarily lived in the district.
description
The square is dominated by the high-rise church of St-Vincent-de-Paul , which was built between 1824 and 1844 by the architect Jean-Baptiste Lepère and his son-in-law Jacques Hittorff . The main facade of the church forms the fourth line of sight of the square, which was planned by the architect Achille Leclère . Around the square are the houses with the house numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, which were built at the same time as the square. Only the largest house, No. 6, was only built in 1850 as a piano manufacture. Its facade is more elaborately designed, with caryatids , columns , mascarons and other decorative elements. The houses Nos. 1 to 5 and 7 are as since 1998 Monument ( Monument historique ) protected (see links).
