Église Saint-Martin des Chaprais, Catholic church in Chaprais district, Besançon, France

The Saint-Martin des Chaprais church features a Latin cross layout with rounded transepts and a 25-meter spire above the crossing.

Originally established in the 6th century, the current building was constructed in 1821 by architect Lapret after the previous church was destroyed during the Austrian blockade.

The church belongs to the Archdiocese of Besançon and serves the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul parish, maintaining regular religious services for the local community.

Located next to the Chaprais cemetery, the church underwent an expansion in 1927 by architect Alfred Nasouki to accommodate the growing congregation.

The church stands at the location called 'le Pater' and received its name to distinguish it from the former church in the Bregille district.
