This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished notably by its choir and decoration, protected by an inscription order dated October 3, 1929. The location of the church, although known with an accuracy deemed satisfactory a priori, is indicated at the following address: 9001 Rue de l'Eglise, in the village of Vitry-en-Montagne.

Parish churches like Saint-Martin played a central role in the life of rural communities in the Great East, particularly in Champagne-Ardenne. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social, religious and sometimes administrative events. In this region marked by agricultural and artisanal history, these buildings often reflected the local identity and available resources, while embodying the architectural and spiritual heritage of the villages.

The partial inscription of the church of Vitry-en-Montagne, specifically concerning its choir, underlines the artistic or historical importance of this element in the building.
