EGLISE SAINT-MARTIN DE PIN

"Rural church donated to the monastery of Chirac by Aldebert II at the beginning of the 12th century. It is still surrounded by its old cemetery and backed by the old priory to the south. Its origin is Romanesque. It ends with a five-sided apse and consists of a single nave, two side chapels forming a false transept, a side chapel to the north under the bell tower and a sacristy attached to the south of the apse. 13th century) the walls of the nave remain up to the impost, the large beam at the entrance to the crossing of the false transept which falls on two sculpted capitals. The remains of painted decoration preserved on the intrados of the arch of the north chapel, evoke the 14th century [...] This church is an example of a local Lozère assimilation of the architectural and decorative principles of the Romanesque period and then of late Gothic".
