FR L'édifice fut terminé officiellement le 10 janvier 1630.
Sous la révolution, la commune de Saint-Martin-de-la-Brasque sollicita et obtint, le 28 octobre 1799, l'autorisation de prendre l'ancien presbytère pour y établir la mairie et l'école.
Devenue propriétaire de l'église, elle continua d'en assurer l'entretien. Trois campagnes de travaux furent notamment menées,
  • la première en 1874 pour la construction d'une nouvelle sacristie au nord de l'édifice et la réparation d'un pilier en pierre de taille et de l’œil de bœuf
  • la seconde, plus importante, en 1881-1882, au cours de laquelle le vieux clocher fut démoli et le clocher actuel construit sur le mur de façade complètement repris à cette occasion
  • la troisième en 1896 pour la réfection de la toiture et de la porte d'entrée
EN The building was officially completed on January 10, 1630.
During the revolution, the municipality of Saint-Martin-de-la-Brasque requested and obtained, on October 28, 1799, the authorization to take the old presbytery to establish the town hall and the school there.
Becoming the owner of the church, she continued to maintain it. In particular, three work campaigns were carried out,
  • the first in 1874 for the construction of a new sacristy to the north of the building and the repair of a freestone pillar and the bull's eye
  • the second, more important, in 1881-1882, during which the old bell tower was demolished and the current bell tower built on the front wall completely taken over on this occasion
  • the third in 1896 for the repair of the roof and the entrance door
