Église Saint-Martin de L'Isle-Adam

About

Saint Martin Church is a parish Catholic church located in L'Isle-Adam, France. It is a Renaissance-style church of great homogeneity, built between 1487 and 1567 with interruptions, under the direction of at least two different architects. The Gothic influence remains visible in terms of the plan, the structure of the Western portal and the veins of the voutes.

A large fire in 1661 left no major trace. The French Revolution, on the other hand, led to the loss of stained glass and the mutilation of the statuary, and the restoration work during the third quarter of the 19th century went hand in hand with the integral reconstitution of many carved elements, sometimes without fidelity to the model. The extensions of the same period, particularly on the two upper floors of the bell tower and a new chapel of the Virgin to the south, are made in the style of the first Renaissance.

The furniture of the church, particularly rich, is of various origins and was assembled by Abbé Grimot in the 19th century.
