Timeline

Origin and history

The church of Saint-Martin de Fressin, located in the commune of Fressin (Pas-de-Calais), is a religious monument whose construction spans the 15th and 16th centuries. It embodies the sacred architecture of this period, marked by stylistic transitions between the flamboyant Gothic and the early Renaissance. Its classification as Historic Monument by decree of 11 September 1906 underlines its heritage importance and its preservation for future generations.

The location of the church, at 26 Grand-Rue in Fressin, is documented with an accuracy deemed satisfactory (note 7/10), and its official address is referenced in the Mérimée base. Owned by the municipality, it remains a central place in the local landscape, although information on its accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. The data come mainly from the Monumentum platform and internal archives, without any mention of specific sponsors or artisans.

The department of Pas-de-Calais, integrated into the Hauts-de-France region, was in modern times a rural and agricultural area, where parish churches like Saint-Martin played a major social, spiritual and administrative role. These buildings served as a place of worship, as well as a gathering point for community decisions, local festivals and important events in village life. Their preservation today is evidence of people's attachment to their historical and cultural heritage.
