Eglise d'Oradour-sur-Glane, Saint-Martin

The Saint-Martin church marks the end of the construction of Nouvel Oradour in 1953. Located at the entrance to the village, on the main avenue, it is the town's most important landmark. A link between past and present, it is designed to be seen from afar. Constructed in concrete, it reflects the symbolism of the commemorative monument. It is composed of simple volumes: a slender bell tower and a square plan. Not to be missed: the statue of Saint-Victurnien and the stained-glass windows depicting the Beatitudes, created by the Chigot workshop in Limoges.
