Église Saint-Martin de Vitré, Neo-Romanesque church in Vitré, France.

Saint-Martin Church features a Neo-Romanesque design with a wide nave, transept, and a dome at the crossing of the transept.

The construction of Saint-Martin Church began in 1868 with the blessing of the first stone and concluded in 1895 under architect Jacques Mellet.

The capitals carved by Vergne between 1892 and 1893 display floral patterns and fantastic creatures throughout different sections of the nave.

The building contains two notable organs: the main Victor Gonzalez organ with 42 stops and the choir organ by Louis Debierre with 13 stops.

The building employs an innovative metal framework covered with rubble stone, an unusual construction technique for churches of this period.
