Origin and history
The Church of Saint Martin of Poinson-les-Fayl is a religious building built mainly in the 14th and 16th centuries. Located in the village of Poinson-lès-Fayl, Haute-Marne, it reflects the architectural styles of these two periods. Its inscription as a Historic Monument by order of 21 October 1925 underlines its heritage importance and its preservation for future generations.
The location of the church at 2 Rue du Midi is estimated with a priori satisfactory accuracy (note 6/10). Owned by the commune, it is mentioned in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 52394, attached to the borough of Chaumont. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visits, services), its protected status guarantees its conservation in the historical landscape of the Great East.
Available data from Monumentum and internal archives are limited to architectural and administrative elements. No information is provided on sponsors, artisans or major events related to the building. Its role in medieval and modern community life, typical of rural churches, would have included religious, social and sometimes defensive functions, without specific details being attested to in this case.
