The Saint-Martin church is a very old church in Bergues. The history of Bergues mentions its creation by the Count of Flanders Baudouin II dit Le Chauve in the second half of the ninth century or around 900. The troubled history of Bergues has forced several reconstructions. The church was remodeled in the 15th century and then again in the 17th century. It had survived until our days when the Second World War was fatal to it ː burned down in 1940, it was destroyed in 1944, when the Germans besieged by the Allies left the city after having dynamited various sites ː the church was destroyed at the same time as the belfry of Bergues. Some of the furniture evacuated in 1939 has survived to this day: The Adoration of the Magi, The Meal at Simon's, paintings by Jean de Reyn; The Apostles, twelve paintings painted on copper by Robert van Hoeck in the seventeenth century, La Madeleine, canvas by Guido Reni4. These paintings are kept in the Mont-de-Piété museum in Bergues. The church was rebuilt in 1959. The new building, installed on the site of the old church, retains only parts of it embedded ː the lateral choir and the right arm of the transept, with a small portal renaissance, where a stone bears the date of 1595. The building was listed as a historical monument in 1907.
