History
The chapel originally depended on the Abbey of Saint-Cybard of Angoulême. On a basilical plan, the chapel comprises a single nave without bays, and a semi-circular choir. The facade is pierced with a pointed arch entrance portal ornamented with a simple roll-moulding, and surmounted by a niche sheltering a cross. The facade continues in a porch tower with two openings.
