Saint Martin Church of Vouthon

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish church of Saint-Martin is located in the chapel of the Templar commandery located in Vouthon. Dating from the 12th century, the Templar commandery of Vouthon is one of the oldest in Charente.
In 1312, the commandery passed under the order of Saint John of Jerusalem, as can still be seen today by the Maltese cross on the forecourt of the church.
During the Hundred Years War, the facade underwent changes and the building was altered several times over the following centuries.
The house, which is accessed by a staircase, was built by the Hospitallers.

One of the Templar commanders, Raymond de Mareuil, was cited by another Templar during questioning by the Pope's commissioners in 1311, in the conflict between King Philippe le Bel and the Templars.

12th century Romanesque church. The west facade has two buttresses rising to the top at its ends. Double buttresses correspond to the western pilasters of the dome and small ones are placed to the west of the nave, on the chapel and the apse. The rectangular bell tower has a first floor with arches, resting on a molded cordon. On another cordon, loaded with vertical billets, rises a second floor, the walls of which are pierced with rectangular openings. Inside, the nave has no vault. Its western and southern walls were dated back to the 17th century. Part of the pavement of the nave is made up of funerary slabs, bearing the representation of the working instruments of the deceased. A covered wooden chapel is supported to the north. It communicates with the nave by two wide arches. The false square, under the bell tower, carries a dome on horns, the departures of which rest on horizontal cords.
