With its thick walls and rare openings, the church of Saint Martin de Brux in the south of the Vienne is a Romanesque church with one of the few roofs in lauzes (flat stones) in the department. The south door, which opens onto the "Sully lime tree", a remarkable tree, is surrounded by an archivolt decorated with a series of small cubic compartments.
The bell tower, with a median cornice with corbels, is pierced with four full arched bays. It is also characterized by its fresco of the XVIII century representing a seigneurial liter decorated with eighteen coats of arms.
Built in the years 1023-1030, the church became part of the property of the abbey of Nouaillé at the end of the 11th century and was placed under the protection of the Holy See. It did not suffer too much from the periods of unrest and was thus able to wait intact for its classification as a Historic Monument in 1914.
