The church of Saint Martin was built in 1877-1878, replacing an old one that had become too small. The architect was Guillaume Müller (1833-1907) from Roeulx. He was also the architect of several other churches in the region (Saint Nicholas in Le Roeulx, Saint Martin in Trivières, Saint Michael in Graty).
The church was restored in 1959-1960 and 2022-2023.

It is a neo-Gothic cross-shaped church built of brick and stone. It has a square tower on the south side, 30 metres high, topped by a 28-metre high spire; a triple nave of four bays, a transept and a choir with a five-sided chevet. The facing is made of bricks, with ashlars from the old church. Inside, the columns are made of hard French stone, known as Morley stone, with capitals with leafy hooks made of blue stone from Soignies and Ecaussinnes.

The church has remarkable neo-Gothic furniture: the high altar and the choir stalls, the side altars, the pulpit, two confessionals and the communion bench.
Several remarkable stained glass windows adorn the choir and the naves. Also noteworthy are the triumphal cross and the large Gothic cross from the old church, dating from the 15th century.

Other remarkable elements are the Way of the Cross, painted by Florimond Baudrenghien, and the baptismal font.
