Église Saint-Martin de Goven, Neo-Gothic parish church in Goven, France.

The Saint-Martin church features three naves with ribbed vaulting, a Latin cross layout, and a square bell tower topped by an octagonal spire.

The construction of the current church began in 1849 under architect Jacques Mellet, replacing a 14th-century structure damaged by a storm in 1701.

The church houses four bells cast by Alfred Paccard, including the western Anne-Marie-Madeleine bell weighing 1,373 kilograms and measuring 1.275 meters in diameter.

Located 18 kilometers southwest of Rennes at 105 meters altitude, the church stands at the center of Goven and connects to a 15-kilometer hiking trail.

The bell tower contains four bells arranged on two levels in a wooden belfry, each named and tuned to create specific musical notes.
