Originally known as place Royale, the place des Vosges is the first European program of royal city planning. Henri IV ordered its construction in 1605 and therefore the place is the prototype of all residential squares of European cities that were to follow: place des Victoires, place Vendôme (Louis XIV), place de la Concorde (18th century).
N°7, the hôtel de Sully (Henri IV's great minister), has architectural elements typical of the beginning of the 17th century: three stories, and red brick facades (sometimes covered with stucco painted to imitate brick) whose corners are edged with quoins in the same white stone that frames the windowssteep slate roofs à la française.
You can admire very similar thinks place Dauphine, Apartment 54, on the Ile de la Cité.
The square was renamed in 1799 when the département of the Vosges became the first to pay taxes supporting a campaign of the Revolutionary army.
