Église Saint-Martin de Pau

Église Saint-Martin is a church building in the Gothic Revival style located in Pau. Its interior features a Latin cross layout with side aisles, a transept, multiple chapels, and an organ platform.

A smaller place of worship from the 15th century previously stood on this site before being replaced. The current structure, designed in the 1800s, began receiving worshippers in the final months of 1871.

Inside the building, visitors find religious artworks created by renowned 19th-century French artists. These paintings and sculptures reflect the artistic vision that shaped religious spaces during that period.

The building sits near the city center of Pau and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should keep in mind that regular worship services take place, which may affect visiting times.

The organ was specially built for the opening ceremony and contains numerous pipes and registers for varied sound. The interior walls and floors also feature colored stone arranged in geometric patterns, adding visual richness to the space.
