Collegiate Sainte-Marthe was dedicated in 1197 and enlarged in the 14th and 15th centuries. It was built half-Romanesque in the 12th century and half-Gothic in the 14th century.
The tympanum and lintel of the Romanesque southern portal were severely damaged during the French Revolution.
The tip of the church tower was destroyed during Allied bombings on August 16, 1944. It was later rebuilt.
