About the location

Église Saint-Martin

Place de l'Église 94370 Sucy-en-Brie

Val-de-Marne
Île-de-France

The 28 m high Romanesque steeple is covered with a typical Briard built roof. The choir and the side chapels characterized by Gothic vaults date back to the thirteenth century: they were probably financed by the lord of the place, the chapter Notre-Dame de Paris. The flat bedside, supported by powerful buttresses, is also characteristic of the Briard style. The nave, the choir floor and the facade are from the seventeenth century. The stained glass windows of the choir, tracing the life of Saint Martin, were offered in the nineteenth century by a local personality.
