The Saint Martin's Church is a building that dates from the 16th century, but was thoroughly renovated in 1884 by the Liège architect Edmond Jamar (1853-1929). He did not really change the external volume, but rebuilt it in a neo-Gothic style.
The fact that the church is located within a castle enclosure points to a very old origin. The chapel of a Merovingian villa probably once stood on this site.
During the expansion work on the cemetery in 1968, two Merovingian graves from the 7th century were discovered. One contained the skeleton of a young girl, and the other contained the remains of a child.
The church was severely damaged at the end of the 17th century by the French armies that had set up camp in Fumal. The church was restored several times in the 18th century.

The natural stone church initially belonged to the castle but later became the parish church of the village.
