History

Chapel dated 1329, adorned with wall paintings. The entire lower part is occupied by simulated drapery, surmounted by a wide frieze covered in the 18th century by a mourning strip sown with coats of arms. Against the facade wall, on the left, representation of Saint Christopher; on the right, Saint Francis of Assisi. Above the door is a scene of martyrdom whose principal figure has disappeared. In the upper zone, Christ and the twelve apostles are found beneath a simulated arcade, composed of thirteen motifs. On the south wall, martyrdom of Saint Catherine and Saint George slaying the dragon. Above are three scenes of the Passion combined in the same picture: the kiss of Judas, Christ healing the ear of the soldier wounded by Saint Peter and the Flagellation. Further on, figures of Saint Michael and Saint Paul. On the far wall, the baptism of Christ, above it the Crucifixion. On the left, a scene of martyrdom, above it the Annunciation. On the north wall, image of Saint Peter and another saint. The vault has a black background sown with white stars on which stand out various subjects (angels bearing chandeliers, medallions with symbols, paschal lamb...).
