St. Martin's Church, Herblay

The Saint-Martin church is a Catholic parish church located in Herblay-sur-Seine, France. It was built from the second half of the 12th century in the Gothic style. The transept is the oldest part. The nave, quite long, is a little more recent, and can be dated from the end of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century. Its aisles were however rebuilt in the modern period, and lost their interest. The elegant central bell tower, whose bays are flanked by multiple columns, is certainly the most emblematic part of the Gothic building. Between 1500 and 1535, its choir was replaced by a vast complex of flamboyant Gothic style, which has three bays, ending in a chevet with cut-offs, and two collateral sides, also with cut-offs. Its architecture is neat, and there are still five Renaissance style windows, dating from 1537-1540, and were restored around 1881. They are the main attraction of the church. It was registered as a historical monument by decree of July 6, 1925. Sunday masses are celebrated there every Sunday at 10:30 am.
