The Saint-Martin church, a 19th century church which is distinguished by its impressive spire. The church was rebuilt after a fire by Baron Roger, owner of the neighboring castle. Inside the church you will find beautiful stained glass windows, a wooden pulpit and a marble altar. The church is also where some of the Spanish refugees who fled the civil war in 1939 were welcomed and housed by the local community. The Saint-Martin Church is a symbol of faith, generosity and resilience in the heart of Vouzeron.
