Great St. Martin Church (Groß St. Martin) is a Romanesque Catholic church in Cologne, Germany, built on foundations from around 960 that rest on remnants of a Roman chapel. Its current buildings were erected between 1150 and 1250, and its soaring crossing tower is a landmark of Cologne's Old Town. The eastern end forms a triconch plan of three apses around the crossing. Heinrich Nagelschmidt, Joachim Schürmann and August Essenwein are associated with the building. It was badly damaged in World War II, and restoration was completed in 1985.
