Visit of Villers-sur-Mer - The church of Saint-Martin

The church of Saint-Martin is a remarkable example of the neo-Gothic style that flourished in Normandy at the end of the 19th century. Thanks to donations, it replaced the old church in 1874, which had become too small.
Inside, the sculptures by the Jacquier brothers and the stained glass windows by the Duhamel Marette workshop are classified as historical monuments. The Duhamel Marette workshop, based in Evreux, delivered to Villers-sur-Mer for this church, an exceptional set of 51 colored stained glass windows dedicated to Saint Joseph and completed in 1878. It is considered as one of the masterpieces of the art of Bas-Normandie at the end of the 19th century.
There is also a painting (also listed) by Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant representing "Saint Joseph, the foster father of Christ", hanging on the west wall of the south transept.
