The essential

— Saint-Martin church

The parish and municipal councils decided to demolish this building and reconstruct a new one. The construction began in 1878 and concluded after various twists in 1885.

It is a structure made of locally sourced red bricks, designed in a cruciform shape, featuring a quite spacious nave, two aisles, and a choir topped with a steeple.

The interior of the building is remarkably ornate. The centerpiece of the furniture is unquestionably the altar and its altarpiece, entirely carved from wood and from a recent era (1925). On either side of the nave are two altars, bearing the figures of Saint Mary (on the left) and Saint Joseph (on the right).

Two additional altarpieces rest on the floor, each embedded with two statues (Saint Thérèse and Saint Martin).
