In 1173, the commanderie of Xugney is mentioned in a charter signed between Pierre, his commander and Gérard, abbot of Senones. The chapel is built at this end of the 12th century. The templars receive the authorisation in 1255, from the abbess of Bouxières, to dig(accentuate) a headrace channel of the water of the Moselle in their mill of Virecourt.
