The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La chapelle porte la date de 1596. C'est un édifice en forme de croix latine, en granit appareillé. La tour et le pignon occidental remontent au 18e siècle (inscription datée de 1729). La chapelle possède encore des sablières du 16e siècle. Une tour en granit assez massive, construite au 18e siècle, avec flèche ajourée et terrasse à balustrade, possède une porte classique. Sur le fronton circulaire de cette dernière s'élève une niche entourée de plus petits pilastres avec un entablement à corniche courbe. La porte d'entrée s'orne d'une frise.

The chapel bears the date of 1596. It is a building in the form of a Latin cross, in ashlar granite. The tower and western gable date from the 18th century (inscription dated 1729). The chapel still possesses beams from the 16th century. A rather massive granite tower, built in the 18th century, with openwork spire and balustrade terrace, has a classical door. On the circular pediment of the latter rises a niche surrounded by smaller pilasters with an entablature with curved cornice. The entrance door is adorned with a frieze.
