Origin and history

The church Saint-Martin de Restigné is a Catholic religious building located in the commune of Restigné, in Indre-et-Loire, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Built mainly between the 12th and 15th centuries, it illustrates medieval architectural evolution, with characteristic elements such as a choir of the late 12th century and a northern chapel of Angelvin influence. Its bell tower, begun in the 12th century, was completed in the 14th century, as was its access turret, while the nave, dating from the 11th century, is covered with a 15th century structure.

Classified as historical monuments by decree of 7 May 1908, this church reflects the importance of religious heritage in small French rural communes. The southern chapel, added in the 14th century, completes an architectural ensemble that combines Romanesque and Gothic styles, typical of the churches of Touraine. The property of the building belongs to the municipality of Restigné, stressing its local anchor and its role in community life.

Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight precise structural details, such as the angeline architecture of the choir and the 15th century structure. These elements, combined with its location in a heritage-rich department, make the Saint-Martin Church a significant testimony to the religious and architectural history of the region. The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory, with an address confirmed at 7 Place de l'Église in Restigné.
