    The church of Massemen is one of the oldest churches in Wetteren.
    Its history starts in the 11th century when it was still a place of worship for Saint Bavo's Abbey in Ghent. What the medieval church looked like is not certain. The old church was heavily damaged by two heavy fires in the 16th century, so that the current church dates mainly from the early 17th century. The rood screen of the church shows a Van Peteghe organ from 1738.

    Saint Martin, to whom the 'Sint-Martinuskerk' is consecrated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - probably one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrendered half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. Martin then converted to Christianity and was later elected Bishop of Tours (France) - initially against his will.
