The territory of Saint-Privat turns out to be the advanced bastion of the city of Metz. They establish a big(great) necropolis rich there in archaeological finds of antiquity in Middle Ages, any rooms(parts,plays) which it is possible to admire to the Museum of Metz Métropole today. At the time of big(great) epidemics of plague and of cholera, she(it) becomes a burial place. The chapel was a part of an important church, destroyed after the seat(siege) of Metz by Charles the Fifth in 1552\. It is rebuilt by 1560 and serves as place of meeting to the Protestants. In 1676, the bishop of Metz, lord d' Aubusson, restores worship(cult) there. In 1793, the cure is transferred in Montigny. Then, the church is sold to a private and serves some time as warehouse. In 1810, to realise the drilling of the street Franiatte, the church is totally destroyed, except for the chapel with its crossing of ogives today overlapped in apartment buildings.
