Église Saint-Martin-de-Tours d'Oradour-sur-Glane, Catholic church remains in Oradour-sur-Glane, France.
The stone walls and partial vaulting of the former Saint-Martin church stand as structural remnants within the preserved village of Oradour-sur-Glane.
On June 10, 1944, German SS soldiers gathered 642 villagers inside this church, killing women and children before setting the building on fire.
The church ruins serve as a central element of the Oradour-sur-Glane memorial site, demonstrating the consequences of wartime atrocities.
Visitors can access the church ruins year-round through guided tours that explain the events of 1944 and the architectural elements that survived.
The melted church bell and baptismal font remain in their original positions, providing physical evidence of the intense fire that consumed the building.
