    The square was created in the period 1807-1812 and was initially called Place Impériale and Place des Invalides.
    It was built by city architect Charles-François de Rare. The main entrances of the Pope's College and the Maria-Theresia College are located on the square. A statue of André Dumont has stood on the square itself since 1922. From 1838, markets for, among other things, ironware were organized on the square, as a result of which the square was popularly known as the Pottekensmarkt. In the 1920s poultry was traded, giving the square the nickname Kiekenmarkt.
