Église Saint-Martin de Villers-sur-Mer, 19th-century Neo-Gothic church in Villers-sur-Mer, France.

Saint Martin Church features a Latin cross layout with an extended nave, built using limestone from Caen and Ranville quarries.

Construction of this church began on September 18, 1872, under architect Aimar Lavalley-Duperroux, replacing an 11th-century church building.

The church contains fifty-one stained glass windows created by the Duhamel-Marette workshop in Évreux, depicting scenes from Christ and saints' lives.

The church, designated as a historical monument since 2006, belongs to the Saint-Martin-de-la-Côte-Fleurie parish of Bayeux and Lisieux diocese.

The choir stalls feature carved misericords displaying various motifs, including dragons and children's faces with bat wings.
