Église Saint-Pierre-du-Martroi d'Orléans, 16th century Catholic church in Orléans, France

The Église Saint-Pierre-du-Martroi is a 16th century church with a central nave, two side aisles, and lateral chapels. The building displays a mix of red brick and stone with a main portal decorated with Renaissance elements.

The original building dated to 930 but was destroyed during the Hundred Years War and rebuilt in 1501. The vaulting in the choir was renewed in the early 17th century following destruction from the Wars of Religion.

The church displays artwork depicting the life of Saint Peter throughout its interior with ornate details. Visitors can observe the baroque elements that shape the space and communicate the religious meaning of the site.

The church is located at the corner of Escures and Saint-Pierre du Martroi streets in the city center and is easily accessible on foot. Entry is free, but visitors should check opening hours beforehand as services may affect access.

The main portal contains a high relief sculpture depicting Saint Peter's liberation by angels, a rare iconographic subject. This artwork comes from the baroque furnishing phase and is often overlooked by passing visitors.
