Eglise Saint-Martin

The church of Saint-Martin in Dezize-lès-Maranges dates back to the 12th century, with frequent alterations in the 15th and 18th centuries. It has a fairly complex layout: the Romanesque nave has three bays, flanked by narrow aisles, and ends in a choir with a semicircular apse and two large 18th-century side chapels.
The nave is covered by a fairly narrow pointed barrel vault, while the side aisles are quarter-circle vaulted; the vaults of the side aisles are punctuated by double slats.
The side aisles are separated from the nave by double pointed arches.
The west facade features a door protected by a small porch and topped by a Renaissance niche with fins and a low-arched lintel; this niche contains a 15th-century Pietà; the facade is buttressed by two buttresses.
The octagonal slate spire rests on a base supported by buttresses and a belfry floor with two openings.
The pilasters supporting the double arches of the nave are adorned with fluting, which brings this building closer to Autun cathedral. Generally in good condition, Saint-Martin church received assistance from the Sauvegarde de l'Art Français in 1993 to restore the bell tower.
