The church of Pessac no longer has architectural remains from the Romanesque period, at which time the church is attested. The term Saint Martin indicates an ancient origin of this church, before the XII century. The archaeological excavations, the historical archives and the architectural analysis of the present church, tell us about the history of the building over the centuries.
It is built on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa and on a probable Merovingian cemetery. This is evidenced by the discovery, in 1882, of a pavement of Gallo-Roman mosaic and that of a limestone sarcophagus.
The base of the bell tower, from the medieval period, is currently the oldest part of the building, with foundations dated to the end of the Gothic period. In the 17th century, the Jesuits of the Collège de la Madeleine restored the church: the bell tower rebuilt and raised, is topped with a pavilion roof; an elegant portal framed by flat pilasters, crowned with a pediment opens on the ground floor.
