The church Saint-Martin de Groffliers is a religious building built between the 12th and 14th centuries, located in the commune of Groffliers, in the department of Pas-de-Calais. This monument, classified as Historical Monument, reflects the medieval architectural evolutions of the region, with probable Romanesque and Gothic influences, although not detailed in the available sources.

The church was listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by a decree of June 10, 1926, reflecting its recognized heritage value. Today it belongs to the municipality of Groffliers. Although the sources do not specify its current use (cult, visits, events), its location and status make it a central element of the local heritage. The accuracy of its geographical location is estimated as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), based on available data.

In the historical context of the Hauts-de-France in the 12th-14th centuries, parish churches like Saint Martin played a major role in community life. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for local decisions and social events. The region, marked by a rural economy and growing trade, saw these buildings become symbols of stability and identity for villages. No specific information on the sponsors or craftsmen of this church is mentioned in the sources.
