Église Saint-Martin de Croix

The Saint-Martin Church combines brick and stone construction with a nave, two side aisles, and a narthex flanked by the Chapel of the Dead.

Built between 1847 and 1851 under architect Charles Leroy's direction, the church represents the first late Neo-Gothic religious structure in northern France.

The interior walls display extensive murals painted between 1927 and 1928, including a notable triptych by Pharaon de Winter depicting the Lamentation of Christ.

The church opens to visitors on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, except during religious services and public holidays.

The building features a digital organ installed in 2020 to replace the original pipe organ from 1880, which required substantial restoration.
