Overview

The construction of the church of Saint-Joseph began in 1713 at the initiative of the Superior des Prémontrés of Pont-à-Mousson, who wanted Nancy to have a convent and a church. The construction is according to the plans of the Italian architect Giovanni Betto. However, the work is interrupted due to a lack of resources. It was only in 1758 that Claude Mique, architect of Stanislas, ensured the resumption of the work. His son, Louis Joseph Mique, succeeded him to complete the work in 1780. During the Revolution, the building was disused. The old church of Saint-Joseph des Prémontrés abbey was assigned to Protestant worship in 1807\\. It takes the name of Temple Saint-Jean. This building is endowed with a remarkable organ of the factor Cuvilier, whose buffet is inscribed as historical monuments.
