With its gargoyles emerging from elegant flint and stone checkerboard walls, the St-Martin church stands on the square of the same name. Its very first construction probably dates back to the 12th century. It was completely rebuilt in the 15th century. Once battered by the sea, battered by the vagaries of history, the result today is a surprising building with multiple aesthetics. It is a unique building in France and a precious witness to time. As such, the church was listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments in 1926, then classified in 2022.
