Église Saint-Martin de Sillegny, Gothic church in Sillegny, France.

The Saint-Martin Church features a fortified tower and displays religious frescoes covering its interior walls with fifty biblical scenes and illustrations.

Built in the 15th century, the church underwent reconstruction of its bell tower in the 19th century after its demolition during the 16th century.

The religious murals dating from 1540 earned the church its local name 'Sixtine de la Seille' due to their extensive biblical narrative coverage.

The church opens daily from 10 AM to 6 PM, with free guided tours available every second Sunday of the month at 2:30 PM.

A protective whitewash inadvertently preserved the original 16th-century frescoes until their rediscovery in 1845 by Father Schnabel.
