The medieval church at Xaffévillers is mentioned in 1294 as a gift to the Abbaye d'Etival in Henri Lepage and Charles Charton's Le Department des Vosges, statistique, historique et administrative (Nancy, 1845, deux. partie, p. 549). The present font, damaged in WWI is modern, probably 19th-century. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
