Eglise Saint Martin de Pouru aux bois
Closed to the public
According to tradition, the Saint-Martin church was built in 1781. The sacristy was built in 1835 and the bell tower restored according to plans by the architect Gippon. In 1842, marble paving was laid in the choir and the western façade of the bell tower was rebuilt (Bulson stone). In 1896, buttresses were built on the south wall of the nave (Bulson stone) and the framework rebuilt according to plans drawn up on 1 June 1891 by the Sedan architect Henry Couty.
The Saint-Martin church is located in the centre of the village and its choir faces north-east. It has an elongated plan. The single-aisle nave is preceded by a bell tower, the ground floor of which serves as an entrance vestibule and houses the spiral staircase leading to the attic. The choir consists of a straight bay and a three-sided apse against which the sacristy is built. The building is built of limestone rubble, entirely rendered with false joints drawn with iron and limestone ashlar chain. The interior faces of the walls are rendered, the floor of the nave is covered with limestone slabs and that of the choir with polychrome cement tiles. The building has only one level pierced with large basket-handle windows. The nave is ceilinged and the choir has a depressed barrel vault. All of the building's roofs are made of slate. The nave and the choir are covered by a long-span roof, the apse by a polygonal croup, the sacristy by a lean-to roof and the bell tower by a polygonal spire.
