Origin and history

Saint-Martin de Boismont Church, located in the Somme department in the Hauts-de-France region, is a religious building built in the 16th century. It is distinguished by its architecture combining stone, flint and brick, with a typical bell tower-wall surmounting the gate, supported by two foothills. His history was marked by periods of Protestant worship during the Wars of Religion, reflecting the religious tensions of the time.

Partially damaged during the Campaign of France in May-June 1940, at the beginning of the Second World War, the church suffered damage from fighting. In spite of this, its structure and creeks, protected since 1926 by an order of inscription to historical monuments, testify to its heritage importance. The interior retains remarkable elements, although not detailed in available sources.

The building, owned by the commune of Boismont, is located near the bay of Somme, at the address 1 Bis Rue François Curé. Its inscription as historical monuments in 1926 underscores its architectural and cultural value, while recalling its role in local history, between religious conflicts and modern wars.
