Église Saint-Martin (Berthenay, Centre, France) - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

[FR] Église Saint-Martin, située en bordure de la Route Départementale 88 à Berthenay.
Sur la rive gauche de la Loire, se trouve un charmant petit village. Vers 475, saint Perpet aurait fait construire une chapelle et l'aurait donnée au chapitre de l’église de Tours. Au 12è siècle, on construisit la première église de Berthenay, à l’emplacement de la chapelle primitive.
Elle fut reconstruite en 1877. Dans l’église Saint-Martin de Berthenay actuelle, on trouve un vitrail du verrier Clément Fournier (1878), représentant la Charité de saint Martin, ainsi que deux petites statues de saint Martin évêque et saint Martin soldat.
