Église Saint-Maur de Martel

Saint-Maur Church features Gothic architecture with tall arches, 16th-century stained glass windows, and a bell tower reconstructed between 1521 and 1531.

The initial construction of the church dates back to 1140, followed by Gothic reconstruction between 1311 and 1345, with successive renovations until 1531.

The stained glass windows created by Master Redon depict Passion scenes, while the interior houses 19th-century religious paintings and bas-reliefs.

The building, classified as a historical monument since 1906, regularly hosts religious ceremonies and guided tours to explore its architectural heritage.

The western tympanum of the church depicts the Second Coming of Christ, reflecting the Romanesque artistic traditions from its early construction period.
