The parish church of Saint-Martin was erected in Ainay within the late 12th and the 13th century, supported for sure by the Capetians / Bourbons, who at that time owned the neighbouring castle, that is dubbed today (after many alterations, modifications and enlargements) "le petit Carcassonne". The church has an extraordanary portal with the five lobes that are even embellished with very small heads. The architectonic "mozarabic" style of the portal roots in Moorish architecture, that the "pelerins" had seen in Spain.
