Historique
Cette chapelle est une ancienne église qui relevait, auparavant, de la commanderie des Templiers de Saint-Antoine de Gélonies. L'église a été détruite pendant les guerres de Religion, hors l'abside à chevet plat, voûtée en berceau, qui subsiste aujourd'hui et conserve des peintures murales du 14e siècle. Ces peintures s'étendent sur deux registres superposés. La nef de la chapelle est écroulée.

History
This chapel is an old church which previously depended on the commandery of the Templars of Saint-Antoine de Gélonies. The church was destroyed during the Wars of Religion, except for the apse with flat chevet, barrel-vaulted, which survives today and retains wall paintings of the 14th century. These paintings extend over two superimposed registers. The nave of the chapel has collapsed.
