Vomécourt-sur-Madon - Saint-Martin

Not much is known about this church. Some scholars date the building mid 11th, most mid 12th century. It may have been built by the Knights Templar, but there is no document about it. It is a small Romanesque basilica, erected on a "Latin Cross" blueprint. Within the 19th century the church was modified. There are larger windows now and a roof, that now stretches over nave and the two aisles.

The portal has a 12th century tympanum, seen here. To the right are the three "Myrrhbearers", the three ladies (aka "Three Marys") finding the empty tomb. To the left the fight of two knights. Above a lion and three round symbols/medaillons.
