Culture and History
The Église Saint-Martin is a long, narrow Gothic building dating from the 13th century. The church also contains an altar reredos tabernacle classified as a movable historic monument. It was made between 1760 and 1770 for the Hôtel-Dieu de Falaise and installed in the church of Martigny-sur-l’Ante in 1924.
The three reredoses in the Église Saint-Martin each frame three remarkable paintings from the 18th century. The paintings are classified as historic monuments and were signed by Pierre JOLLAIN in 1766 or 1768.
