Le 21 novembre 1593, la paroisse Saint-Sébastien est créée dans cette Ville-Neuve de Nancy. Suite aux guerres et faute d'argent la construction du sanctuaire est retardée. Du projet initial, une unique chapelle est édifiée, consacrée à saint Sébastien. L’ordonnancement extérieur reste classique dans ses lignes principales. Toutefois la façade a été particulièrement soignée par l'architecte : plus basse que le reste de l'édifice, elle s'incurve et forme des sortes d'avant-corps qui encadrent l'unique porte d'entrée.
Quatre grands panneaux sculptés en bas-relief par Joseph-Dieudonné Pierre en constituent la décoration : les deux encadrant la porte sont incurvés et représentent le Sauveur et la Vierge.
