The church Saint-Martin de Semens is a religious monument located in the commune of Semens in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

Parish churches like Saint-Martin de Semens traditionally played a central role in the lives of rural communities. In New Aquitaine, these places of worship served not only for religious services, but also as gathering points for the inhabitants. Their construction and maintenance often reflected the social organization and local resources, although the archives specific to this monument were lacking to attest to its peculiarities.
