Le socle de la croix repose lui-même sur un autre socle, sur un côté duquel est accolé un autel en pierre. Le tout surmonte un banc de pierre faisant le tour de trois des côtés du monument.£La chapelle est un édifice rectangulaire à nef unique, avec chevet à pans coupés surmontés de gâbles formant les pignons de petits toits.

The cross consists of a massive base on which rests the shaft, decorated with knobs. It is crowned by an ornate crucifix adorned, on one side, with Christ, on the other, with a descent from the cross. The base of the cross rests itself on another base, on one side of which is attached a stone altar. The whole surmounts a stone bench making the rounds of three of the sides of the monument. The chapel is a rectangular building with a single nave, with chevet with cut angles topped with gables forming the gables of small roofs. The building bears the inscription 1668. The ensemble is half-Gothic, half-Renaissance.
