Saint-Martin Church in Saulxures-lès-Bulgnéville

The Saint-Martin Church in Saulxures-lès-Bulgnéville, built around 1830, replaced an earlier structure of which no trace remains.
The building has a single nave lit by large semicircular bays, typical of the architecture of that period. The square bell tower, topped with a bulbous roof and an openwork bell tower, dominates the western façade and serves as a porch tower.
Inside, the church retains its original 19th-century furnishings, including two side altars dedicated to the Virgin and a holy bishop. The choir, with a semi-dome vault, houses a painting representing Saint Martin sharing his cloak, attributed to a disciple of Anthony Van Dyck.
The stained glass windows, made in 1894 by a workshop of master glassmakers from Vaucouleurs, illustrate scenes such as the veneration of the cross by Saint Francis of Assisi and the Holy Family. Some of the windows bear the names of local donors, testifying to the community's involvement in the embellishment of the church. The church has undergone recent restorations, including the interior frescoes, thus preserving its architectural and artistic heritage for future generations.
