Saint Martin church in Chapaize, France, is an impressive Romanesque edifice built in the 12th century. Situated on the top of a bald hill with an immense view over the surrounding countryside, the church looks particularly beautiful in the summer when the golden maize fields are in full bloom. Its unique architecture includes two bell towers and two portals. The Romano-Byzantine interiors are considered to be stunningly decorated, frescoes and elaborate mosaics adorning the walls and ceilings. The walls are lined with stall seats and altar pieces of Grand Siècle artisanship. The Saint Martin’s sanctuary is sure to captivate visitors from all over the world. Visitors can enjoy the view from the balcony, stroll the flowery gardens, cross the three bridges over the river, and get in touch with nature. Make sure to have a stop at the church shop, where you can find souvenirs and small items related to the works of art in the church.
