The most beautiful religious buildings Macouba

This church is one of the most beautiful gems of religious architecture in Martinique. Built in 1667 but rebuilt in 1774 and again in 1813, it welcomed Father Labat, a young Dominican missionary, when he arrived in Martinique. Its wooden frame is the result of the skills of the sailor-carpenters employed in the construction of religious buildings. A lovely little cemetery looks out to sea just behind the church. Its roof is particularly low and close to the ground, which may be surprising, to better resist hurricanes.
