Église Saint-Martin d'Amiens, Gothic Revival church in Amiens, France.

Église Saint-Martin is a north-south oriented Gothic Revival church built of red brick with limestone accents. Its north facade has a central porch topped by a clock tower with two tall louvered lancet openings, flanked by two slender spires with crosses. Three limestone portals have carved tympana by Victor Fulconis: the left shows Saint Martin's dream, the center the sharing of the cloak, and the right the Virgin and Child with Saint Martin kneeling.

The first stone was laid in 1869 and work finished in 1882 to plans by Amiens architect Louis Henry Antoine, replacing an 1866 chapel. In 1918 German forces damaged the right porch and part of the side aisles, rebuilt in 1935 under Jean Guidée. A May 1940 shell pierced the roof and damaged the organ; restoration followed after World War II.

The three limestone portals carry sculpted tympana by Victor Fulconis, added in 1882: the left shows Saint Martin's dream, the centre the sharing of the cloak, the right the Virgin and Child with Saint Martin kneeling in prayer. A statue of Saint Martin as bishop crowns the central portal, with statues of Saint Louis and a saint holding a palm in its niches.

The church is located in the Henriville district and remains accessible throughout the week for regular religious services. Visitors should observe standard respectful behavior in sacred spaces and arrive during appropriate times for visiting.

The church's first organ, built by the Abbey brothers in 1879 with two keyboards and 26 stops, was enlarged by them in 1895 to three keyboards and 41 stops. In May 1940 a shell pierced the roof above it and destroyed the instrument; the Haerpfer-Erman firm of Boulay-Moselle rebuilt it in 1949, reusing the parts still in good condition.
