Event Host Building

Saint Martin

Its origins date back to the 10th century, rooted in a village founded in the Middle Ages, probably shortly after the Norman invasions, as evidenced by the Germanic roots of the name Nomain.

The church, originally built in a sober Romanesque style, was erected using materials salvaged from a Gallo-Roman villa discovered in the area, evidence of an earlier occupation of the site.

Nomain's bell tower, along with those of Aix-en-Pévèle and Flines-lez-Raches, is one of the oldest in the region. Its base dates from the 11th century and its square sandstone tower from the 13th century.

Over the centuries, the church has undergone a number of transformations. Gothic additions, including a chapel, enriched the building and changed its appearance. In the 17th century, the structure was redesigned in the typical style of the ‘hallekerque’, the large hall-churches typical of the region.

In the 19th century, the church underwent several extensions and restoration campaigns. Between 1842 and 1847, Douais architect François DISLERE gave it its current appearance. The roof was repaired between 1883 and 1889. The current spire was added in 1895.

In 2000, the church underwent another facelift, before its steeple in 2020.
