ST. MARTIN'S PARISH CHURCH

Religious buildings

Surrounded by a pretty cemetery with its schist crosses, the Bavigne parish church has a sanctuary built in 1744 and a bell tower, the lower part of which may be older. The place is best known for its high altar designed and built by the sculptor Nicolas Jacques de Nobressart (1713-1793), a craftsman from Wiltz, and renovated in 1956 by Josef van Heckern from Essen. The church has been classified as a national monument since 1961.
