SAN MARTIN TEMPLE
Go there and contact
Unlike the rest of Franche-Comté, the country of Montbéliard was very receptive to Lutheran Protestantism (and therefore, rather hostile to Catholicism). This can be explained in part by the fact that Montbéliard was then under German domination and governed by the family Wurtemberg for more than four centuries. Built by Heinrich Schickhardt in 1604, St. Martin's Temple, the oldest French building in the Lutheran cult, was the crowning of the religious policy led by Prince Frederick, Duke of Wurtemberg, and made it possible to place Protestantism as a religion in the country. You can admire the beauty of its architecture as well as its enclosure ceiling, its organ and its staircase.
