The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La chapelle funéraire offre une ordonnance assez fréquente de petites baies ouvertes dans le mur, au-dessus d'un soubassement. L'édicule se termine par deux pignons dont les gâbles sont ornés de crochets et s'amortissent sur des animaux. L'église est un édifice de la fin du 15e et du début du 16e siècle. Le clocher et le portail latéral sont les parties les plus intéressantes.

The mortuary chapel offers a fairly common arrangement of small openings opened in the wall, above a base plinth. The edifice terminates in two gables whose gablets are ornamented with crockets and terminate on animals. The church is a building of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The bell tower and the side portal are the most interesting parts.
