The Église Saint-Martin in Habarcq is a historic building with a rich history. It was originally built in the 13th century by Jehan de Habarcq, but was quickly destroyed and burned during the conflicts between Louis the French Revolution. The church has a number of unique features, including the fact that it was originally a chapel attached to the de Habarcq family castle. It only became a parish church in 1806. Inside the church there were windows (which are still visible) that allowed the gentlemen to attend religious ceremonies without having to move. Built in the Gothic style, the church has a number of interesting architectural features, including richly decorated windows depicting vegetative and animal motifs from the medieval bestiary. Above the first window you can see the coat of arms of the Count of Lens, lord of Habarcq. The church is located in the heart of the village and is partly hidden by its proximity to the castle. The interior is completely covered in woodwork and paneling, said to come from a cedar tree from Lebanon that once stood in the castle's park and was uprooted by a storm in 1940.
