The majestic Romanesque Church of Sainte-Martine rises above the former quarter of the merchant fleet. It is the oldest building left by the Middle Ages at Pont-du-Château. Its construction spanned several centuries, starting at the end of the 12th century.
From the outside, the ensemble is harmonious, but its homogeneity is attenuated by a black lava bell tower, built in 1816 to replace the one Couthon had razed in 1793\. Inside, the church surprises with the juxtaposition of a vast Gothic Romanesque nave and a choir of modest dimensions, of more recent construction. The 1994-95 restoration did not seek to mitigate this diversity.
