Historique
Construite sur un rocher au sud de la ville, l'ancienne chapelle de la léproserie a été consacrée en 1418, reconstruite en 1488 par le greffier-syndic qui en fit don à la Ville, démolie, reconstruite à nouveau en 1519. Flanquée d'une tourelle permettant l'accès à une petite tribune, la nef unique, dont le plafond a été refait au 18e siècle, est prolongée par un choeur en demi-cercle. Le musée municipal conserve plusieurs sculptures des 15e, 16e et 18e siècles provenant de cette chapelle.

History
Built on a rock to the south of the town, the former chapel of the leper house was consecrated in 1418, rebuilt in 1488 by the clerk-syndic who donated it to the Town, demolished, rebuilt again in 1519. Flanked by a turret allowing access to a small gallery, the single nave, whose ceiling was redone in the 18th century, is extended by a semi-circular choir. The municipal museum preserves several sculptures of the 15th, 16th and 18th centuries from this chapel.
