Summary

Description
English: Triguères' Saint Martin church, seen from the south-east. Although this photo was taken prior to 1863, the church is still the same as of 2013. The ground floor and first level of the spire are from the XIth century and of roman style. The church was almost completely destroyed within 100 years (only its spire base and its front door remain of the old church) and was rebuilt in gothic style in the second third of the XIIth century. But the lanceolated shape of the openings in the spire indicate that it was rebuilt again in the XIIIth century, possibly because the second spire was not high enough anymore for the bells to have the proper range (the second church was higher than the first one). The spire's ornaments at the top date from the XVIth century, date of the last major works on the church.
Français : Eglise St Martin de Triguères, vue du sud-est. Cette photo a été prise avant 1863, mais l'église est toujours la même en 2013. La tour du clocher date du XIe siècle et est de style roman. L'église ayant été presque entièrement détruite moins de 100 ans après, elle a été reconstruite en style gothique au XIIe siècle. La forme lancéolée des baies du clocher indique un remaniement au XIIIe siècle, probablement pour le rehausser car la deuxième église était plus haute que la première et les cloches doivent surmonter les combles pour avoir la portée voulue. Les décorations près du sommet du clocher datent du XVIe siècle, époque des derniers grands travaux sur l'église (ajout des bas-côtés et de la sacristie).
