St. Martin is a Roman Catholic church in the town of Olten (Switzerland). It is a three-nave columned basilica without transept with three chorapsideas.
The church is considered as the "most significant Neoromanesque Greater Church of Switzerland from the late period of historicism".[1]
In addition to the 1876 built by the Roman Catholic parish Olten Notkirche St. Gallen architect August Hardegger built from 1908 to 1910, the large neo-Romanesque parish church. The new church has even more than the seats than the Solothurn Cathedral, making it the largest clearance Church in Canton Solothurn.
