France: Beuvron-en-Auge, Église Saint-Martin

The Église Saint-Martin (Saint-Martin church) was built between 1640 and 1643. The original church stood within the walls of Harcourt Castle, but was moved to a site north of the village that belonged to Bec-Hellouin Abbey.

Around 1920, the original bell tower, which was in poor condition, was replaced by a brick tower in neo-Gothic style. The church therefore stands out for its red brick tower and white exterior.

The furnishings and interior were thoroughly renovated at the end of the 19th century and in the 20th century. The stained-glass windows and organ were installed in 1924. However, several old elements have been preserved. The most striking is the 18th-century high altar.
