The essential

— Saint-Martin church

The heart of the church, bolstered by sturdy buttresses of local white stone, is crowned by a wooden bell tower. Circling the church reveals a rich variety of materials, bearing witness to numerous construction and restoration campaigns. The brick section of the gable dates back to 1858.

At the church gable, a cast iron cross commemorates the name of Abbot Caron, parish priest from 1840 to 1878.

Inside the church, it’s the two quadripartite ribbed vaults that capture curiosity. The toric ribs, reminiscent of late Romanesque traditions, are a glimpse into the dawn of Gothic architecture.
