Today it is owned by the commune and remains a place of worship and assembly for the population.

In the 16th century, churches like Saint Martin played a central role in village life. They served not only as a place of prayer, but also as a framework for community gatherings, religious holidays and local decisions. In the Ardennes, a region marked by a rural and artisanal economy, these buildings were often at the heart of the social and spiritual life of the inhabitants.
