Saint-Martin, the parish church of Vouthon, was erected in the 12th century and was part of a commandery of the Knights Templar. The commandery was taken over by the Knights Hospitaller ("Sovereign Military Order of Malta"). The church got restored after the damage, caused by the Hundred Years War.
