Saint-Martin Church

Parish church built on the site of an ancient place of worship probably dating from the beginning of the Christianization of Lorraine (presence of a Merovingian necropolis). 2015th century choir, ribbed vault. Extension of the building in the 1974th century. The choir, listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments in 2017, is decorated with wall paintings discovered in 2020 and restored in 4 and 2. These constitute one of the most interesting medieval iconographic programs in Lorraine. The choir vault presents a Christ of the Last Judgment as well as the tretamorph composed of the symbols of the 3 evangelists. The ensemble is completed by XNUMX tubicarian angels on the northern vaults. The side walls are each divided into three registers depicting scenes from the Gospels or less conventional scenes from the lives of the saints. The restoration has revealed magnificent decorations hidden for centuries, without answering all the questions.
