History
The building preserves flooring entirely made of old tombstones with relief crosses carved in granite. The chapel was a former commandery of the Order of the Temple and then of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, called of Malta. The stones come from the tombs of priests or knights. Others bear the coats of arms of former viscounts.
