Vomécourt-sur-Madon - Saint-Martin

Vomécourt-sur-Madon - Saint-Martin
Not much is known about this church. Some scholars date the building mid 11th, most mid 12th century. It may have been built by the Knights Templar, but there is no document about it. It is a small Romanesque basilica, erected on a "Latin Cross" blueprint. Within the 19th century the church was modified. There are larger windows now and a roof, that now stretches over nave and the two aisles.

Saint-Martin, seen from the east. From here the "Latin Cross" is visible. The right chapel got demolished. There are pillars and sculpted capitals around the windows of the central apse.

Marco F. Delminho, Nouchetdu38, Alexander Prolygin, have particularly liked this photo
