The church of Saint-Martin was first built between 1468 and 1472 on a site opposite the castle of Pau. In the 19th century, the church was too small for the population of Pau and was replaced in 1871 by a new church located a little further east. It was therefore decided to demolish the old church in 1885. The church tower was partially destroyed in 1794, then rebuilt in wood in 1805 before being completely rebuilt when the new Saint-Martin church was built. The new building is of neo-Gothic architecture with a Byzantine influence.

The church of Saint-Martin dates from the 10th century. Rebuilt according to the canons of Saintongean Romanesque architecture, it became the main parish church of the town and depended on the abbey of Saint-Florent in Saumur from 1075. The building includes a pre-Romanesque crypt, a vestige of the primitive church, above which the new sanctuary is built. The church was enlarged during the 15th century, and two bell towers were added to the corners of the façade. In 1582, the church was severely damaged during the religious war and was rebuilt as a Protestant church in 1602. The Catholics took over the church in 1629.
