Square du Temple
Paris, France, France
The Square du Temple in Paris is a public garden located in the 3rd arrondissement, created in 1857 as part of Baron Haussmann's major renovation of the city.
It sits on the historic site of a medieval fortress built by the Knights Templar in the 12th century, which served as their stronghold and included a church, keep, various buildings, and was eventually used as a prison during the French Revolution where King Louis XVI and his son were held before their executions. The original Templar fortress was demolished in the mid-19th century to make way for modern Parisian urban design.
Today, the square is a green space featuring diverse trees and recreational areas, including an adventure playground and table tennis tables. It also carries historical remembrance, including a plaque honoring 85 Jewish children from the district who were deported during World War II.
The Square du Temple is surrounded by streets commemorating the Templar history and remains a peaceful oasis in the vibrant Marais district.
