A little history of Saint-Sébastien church in Nancy

The church |

Architect Nicolas Jennesson raised this church in 1731.
The façade is composed of Doric order on the door and Ionic order above.
Low-reliefs represent the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ with angels.
We also can see saint Nicolas resurrecting children (saint Nicolas is Lorraine’s patron saint)...
We also have saint Charles Borromeo, a rope against his neck. All these sculptures were made by Joseph-Dieudonné Pierre, from Nancy.
The clock (1841) replaced Lorraine blazon hammered during the French Revolution...
Don’t forget the two statues: duke Leopold with a Roman suit and saint Sebastian, by Victor Huel.
