The Church of Saint Martin in Nuaillé d'Aunis was built in the 17th century. It was blessed on 11 November 1676. During the religious wars, a primitive church of Saint Martin was located in the castle and was destroyed during these events. In 1663, the parish of Nuaillé had only the chapel of the chaplaincy of Saint Laurent, a small and poorly built building. The Church of Saint Martin was built from this chapel. A new sacristy was added to it around 1730, but shortly before the revolution, its condition had become so alarming that it had to be closed down. The new church was built in 1820. The old north and east walls were retained. The new bell tower was erected on the façade in 1858 and in 1874 the building received its polygonal chevet. The church is very simple on the outside, but the interior is remarkably rich in decoration, with a choir decorated with Corinthian pilasters in faux marble, coloured stained glass windows, light fittings, etc. The church of Saint Martin, which is the result of these successive enlargements, is an illustration of the spiritual indigence of the 19th century
