Église Saint-Martin de Sare, Church building in Sare, France.
The Saint-Martin Church stands on a hill in the center of Sare, featuring a five-story tower and three levels of carved oak galleries.
First mentioned in the Golden Book of Bayonne Cathedral in 1142, the church underwent major elevation work in 1641 under priest Pedro de Axular.
The interior wooden galleries with turned balusters represent traditional French Basque church architecture, accommodating up to 700 seated worshippers.
The church remains open throughout the year with free admission, allowing visitors to explore independently with guides available in French and Basque.
The sundial bears an inscription about time's passage, while the bell tower contains a bell installed in 2005 with distinct sculptural details.
