Since 1973 the formerly small, but independent municipality of La Capelle is part of La Canourgue that by now has a population of more than 2000.
St. Martin was probably built after the 12th century and its Romanesque architecture was altered in the course of the centuries. Originally this was a single-nave church with three bays. The side chapels were added in the 17th century, the steeple dates from the 19th century.
The interior once was adorned with frescoes inside as well is this rough carving. The information given here says it "could be a vestige from an older chapel. It represents a hunter holding a spear with an animal on either side (...) So far no reliable interpretation has been given".
