Historique
Ancienne possession templière, il s'agit d'une grande chapelle rurale du 16e siècle possédant un seul bas-côté, aveugle, au nord de la nef. L'édifice présente un plan en croix latine avec un transept et un choeur un peu débordant. Le décor des portes, fleurons et pinacle, est courant dans les édifices locaux. Les arcs diaphragmes qui limitent la nef et les bras du transept, se rencontrent moins souvent.

History
Former Templar possession, this is a large rural chapel of the 16th century possessing a single aisle, blind, to the north of the nave. The building presents a plan in the form of a Latin cross with a transept and a slightly projecting choir. The decoration of the doors, fleurons and pinnacles, is common in local buildings. The diaphragm arches which limit the nave and the arms of the transept, are encountered less often.
