Church of Saint-Martin-des-Champs

This former mother church of Oltingue and three disappeared villages dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. The location is idyllic: surrounded by fields, an old cemetery and often with storks on the roof in the spring.Inside you will discover surprisingly well (?) preserved wall paintings, including a rare representation of the sacrifice of Melchisedech and a Last Supper from 1741. In the choir you will also find a wall tabernacle and a niche for liturgical objects, silent witnesses of medieval rituals. The Gothic arched windows and the neo-Gothic vault are reminders of later restorations, while archaeological excavations in 1989 revealed traces of older sanctuaries and tombs from the early Middle Ages. simple but full of character.

At the gates of the village of Oltingue, we find this beautiful church nestled in an unparalleled bucolic setting. Built in the 13th century, it was remodeled several times until the 19th century. Its interior was restored during the 20th century, and in particular its exceptional frescoes.
