Holiday apartment in Saulx: Church, Le Château and Cistern Wells

Saulx combines a distinctive local history with features that can be traced from the church interior to the cistern wells and into the surrounding landscape. The Église Saint-Martin was rebuilt between 1860 and 1885 in the Neo-Gothic style. In Saulx, Le Château dates mainly from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Both buildings give the village a clear cultural profile and offer different starting points for planning your trip. The Neo-Gothic church and the older château complex thus provide different historical accents.

History taking concrete form in Saulx

The Église Saint-Martin also houses an 18th-century painting depicting Saint Martin bringing a deceased person back to life. Visits to the church are arranged through the Syndicat d’Initiative. Le Château can also be explored through several preserved features: a rectangular walled garden and a water basin remain from the former park of the historic estate. The estate is protected as a historic monument and includes historic interiors, ornate ironwork, gates, a dovecote and a wine press.

Wells and a circular trail as themes for discovery

Saulx has 11 communal cistern wells. The designated “Circuit urbain des 11 puits-citernes” circular trail highlights this distinctive feature of the village. A PDF entitled “Sentier de randonnée Circuit des puits” is available for download for the “Circuit des puits” trail. When planning your stay, you can use it to focus on the wells and the associated trail themes without losing sight of the cultural buildings.
