Read moreBuilt in the thirteenth century, then restored and enlarged at the end of the xve and early sixteenth century, this church dedicated to Saint Martin de Tours has unsuspected riches. In addition to its richly decorated nef, the impressive building has a set of fine, polychrome statues for many of them. The church also displays epitaphes of the late sixteenth century as well as paintings painted somewhat singular where pastel is referred to. The retable of the sixteenth century evoking a Tomb and a Virgin of Pity of the seventeenth century are upsetting, and these carved woods question whether or they are not neophyte. Good example of a hidden richness of this enchanting Sologne.
