The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette chapelle était, à ce qu'il semble, originairement, réservée à l'usage d'un château voisin entièrement détruit. Elle se compose d'un choeur voûté en berceau, se terminant en cul de four. Trois petites fenêtres éclairent le choeur. La nef, peut-être sur fondations romanes, est beaucoup plus basse que le choeur, dont elle est séparée par un arc plein cintre soutenant un grand pignon. La façade s'ouvre par une porte en arc brisé, sans décor, soutenant un clocher en forme de pignon triangulaire percé de trois arcades. Des contreforts d'angle dénotent une origine du 15e ou 16e siècle.

This chapel was, it would seem, originally reserved for the use of an adjacent castle entirely destroyed. It is composed of a choir vaulted with a barrel vault, terminating in a barrel vault. Three small windows light the choir. The nave, perhaps on Romanesque foundations, is much lower than the choir, from which it is separated by a round arch supporting a large gable. The façade opens by a pointed arch door, without decoration, supporting a bell tower in the form of a triangular gable pierced by three arcades. Corner buttresses denote an origin of the 15th or 16th century.
