Located in the village of Meüll in the Pallars Jussà, the Romanesque church of Sant Martí del Meüll is a 12th-century structure that was once part of the Barony of Mur.

In the Pallars Jussà region lies the village of Meüll, home to the church of Sant Martí del Meüll. This Romanesque temple is situated on the site where the Castell del Meüll once stood. It was part of the Barony of Mur and the Pabordeia of the same name.

Currently an edificio en ruïnes, the church consists of a single nave covered with a barrel vault and transverse arches along the nave. The eastern part features a semi-circular apse, open to the nave without a presbyterial arc. It is a simple work, constructed from small and somewhat irregular stones.

In September 2025, the Consell Comarcal del Pallars Jussà declared the church of Sant Martí del Meüll as a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local (BCIL), at the request of the Ajuntament de Castell de Mur.
