Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its date of foundation or the major stages in its architectural or spiritual history. In this region, parish churches like Saint Martin played a central role in medieval and modern community life.

They served as places of worship, gathering for local festivals, and sometimes as places of refuge or storage of crops. Their architecture often reflected the resources and know-how available in the region, as well as the dominant stylistic influences at the time of their construction or renovation.
