Vomécourt-sur-Madon - Saint-Martin

Vomécourt-sur-Madon - Saint-Martin
Not much is known about this church. Some scholars date the building mid 11th, most mid 12th century. It may have been built by the Knights Templar, but there is no document about it. It is a small Romanesque basilica, erected on a "Latin Cross" blueprint. Within the 19th century the church was modified. There are larger windows now and a roof, that now stretches over nave and the two aisles.

The portal has a 12th century tympanum. The flanking sculptures (to the right could be the donor) and St. Martin are 15th/16th century.
