Place Saint-Étienne, Medieval square in Grand Île, Strasbourg, France

Place Saint-Étienne features a rectangular layout bordered by traditional half-timbered houses and contains the Meiselocker fountain at its center.

The square originated in the 11th century as rue de la Pierre-Large and received its current name Place Saint-Étienne in the year 1400.

The Foyer de l'Étudiant Catholique occupies the former residence of mathematician Paul Appell, marking the square's connection to academic heritage.

The square underwent extensive renovations in 2014, resulting in enhanced pedestrian spaces and improved accessibility for visitors and residents.

The Meiselocker fountain arrived in 1929 as part of an exchange with Munich, which received the Vater Rhein fountain from Strasbourg.
