Église Saint-Martin d'Ivry-la-Bataille, Catholic parish church in Ivry-la-Bataille, Eure, France

Église Saint-Martin d'Ivry-la-Bataille is a parish church located on a town square, built in the 15th and 16th centuries with Gothic style elements. The building has a gabled facade, a square bell tower rising in stages, a bell tower spire, and pointed arch windows; inside are wide arches connecting the central nave to the side aisles, stone vaults, and 19th century stained glass.

Diane de Poitiers had the foundations laid at the end of the 15th century for a chapter she planned, but the work stopped; only some sculptures at the chevet remain from this campaign. Lightning tore away the spire and vaults in 1664, and a hurricane demolished the roof in 1688. In the 19th century the bell tower was consolidated after ground subsidence.

The chevet carries the Revolutionary inscription "Temple de la raison et de la philosophie", with "Liberté. Égalité. Fraternité" below it, left from the 1793-1794 conversion of the church to revolutionary cults. A stained-glass window donated by Julie Ledoux, widow Auguste Laval and sister-in-law of Father Jacques-Désiré Laval, shows him preaching to the people of Mauritius and healing Caroline Prosper on his deathbed, with views of Port-Louis harbour, Le Pouce and cane fields.

The church sits in the town center and is accessible on foot or by car. During times of open access and services, visitors can view the interior, while the exterior architecture remains visible from the surrounding square.

The bell hanging to the left as you enter weighs 1,500 kilos and was cast in 1538, not 1539. Named Saint Martin, it rang on 14 March 1590 for Henry IV's victory. The church also keeps a 14th-century baptismal font and a 15th-century polychrome stone Virgin and Child.
