Église Saint-Martin is the parish church of the small commune of Marmoutier, in the Bas-Rhin department of France. The church used to belong to Marmoutier Abbey and to be dedicated to Saint Stephen; it is still known as église (church), or abbatiale (abbey church) Saint-Étienne.
Built over a period of over 700 years, Marmoutier's church has a length of 74m (243feet),[1] [2] and grows younger from West to East: the facade with its porch tower is Romanesque, the nave is Gothic, and the choir was rebuilt in the years 1765–1770 in an early Gothic Revival style.[3] It is classified as a Monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1840, making it a part of the very first list of such heritage buildings, and is a stage on the Romanesque Road of Alsace.[4]
The western facade of Marmoutier's church is famous for its massive but well balanced architecture,[5] while inside, the 1710 pipe organ by Andreas Silbermann (completed in 1746 by his son, Johann Andreas Silbermann, and restored several times since)[6] [7] and the 18th-century choir stalls are among the most notable items on display.
