Église Saint-Martin d'Hayange, Roman Catholic church in Hayange, France.
Église Saint-Martin d'Hayange is a Roman Catholic church that combines architectural styles and features a bell tower modeled after the Trinity Church in Paris. The building stands on Maréchal-Joffre Street and houses a large organ inside.
The construction of this church was led by architect Rémy Jacquemin and completed in 1884 while the region was under German control. The organ was added a decade later, funded by a prominent local family.
The stained glass windows throughout the interior show scenes from Saint Martin's life and depict other saints, reflecting the craftsmanship of late 19th century workshops. These artistic works continue to shape how the interior appears to visitors today.
The church sits on an easily accessible street in central Hayange and is visible from the outside at any time. Visitors should note that access may be limited during religious services.
The organ was crafted by Dalstein and Haerpfer workshops and was the hundredth instrument they built, earning the name Opus 100 in their catalog. The inscription inside preserves this record and reminds visitors of the organ builders' craftsmanship.
