Église Saint-Pierre de Brancion, Romanesque church in Martailly-lès-Brancion, France

The stone building features a Latin cross layout with a five-bay nave, transept, two side aisles, three apses, and a square bell tower.

The church received its first mention in a charter of Cluny Abbey in 964, while archaeological excavations revealed Merovingian walls under the current parvis.

The interior walls display 14th-century frescoes depicting the Nativity and the resurrection of the dead, with Christ surrounded by evangelists and seraphim.

The church holds regular services under the diocese of Autun and belongs to the Saint-Philibert parish of Tournugeois in Tournus.

The northern aisle contains the carved stone tomb of Josserand IV de Brancion, who died during the Seventh Crusade in 1250.
