History
This chapel, which must have been built in the 16th century, is very characteristic of the architecture of central Brittany. The chevet wall is supported by two buttresses. The whole of the building is supported by four large oblique buttresses at the four angles. On the interior, barrel vault of wood, with tie-beams moulded with very expressive engoulant motifs.
