The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'édifice a servi, avant le 19e siècle, d'église paroissiale, avant la construction de l'édifice actuel situé sur la place. Depuis cette époque, la chapelle a servi au culte de manière épisodique. Elle se trouvait au centre d'un placître aujourd'hui dénaturé par l'élévation de maisons aux 19e et 20e siècles. Le plan en croix latine est déformé au nord par une sacristie accolée entre la nef et le transept nord. A l'intérieur, la nef possède des sablières aux engoulants peints et aux poinçons à bases moulurées. Le berceau à lambris de bois est peint.

The building served, before the 19th century, as a parish church, before the construction of the present building situated on the square. Since this time, the chapel has served for worship on an episodic basis. It stood in the centre of a churchyard today marred by the erection of houses in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Latin cross plan is distorted to the north by a sacristy attached between the nave and the north transept. Inside, the nave has roof beams with painted engoulants and ribs with moulded bases. The barrel vault with timber coffering is painted.
