The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chapelle de plan en T, ayant appartenu aux Templiers puis aux Hospitaliers. C'est un édifice d'origine romane, composé d'une nef avec transept et bas-côté au nord. Le transept sud s'aligne avec le chevet ; celui du nord est en retrait. Le bas-côté comporte deux arcades plein cintre sur nef et deux autres dans le sens transversal. La travée ainsi obtenue se prolonge comme tour et est surmontée d'un clocher conique à la base et se terminant en pyramide. Huit autels paraissent remonter au 13e siècle. L'édifice a été agrandi et remanié au 17e siècle (date de 1627 ou 1629 inscrite sur un linteau).

Chapel of T-shaped plan, formerly belonging to the Templars and then to the Hospitallers. It is a building of Romanesque origin, composed of a nave with transept and aisle to the north. The south transept aligns with the chevet; that to the north is set back. The aisle comprises two round-arch arcades on the nave and two others in the transverse direction. The bay thus obtained extends as a tower and is surmounted by a conical bell tower at its base and ending in a pyramid. Eight altars appear to date from the 13th century. The building was enlarged and modified in the 17th century (date of 1627 or 1629 inscribed on a lintel).
