History
Small chapel of Romanesque origin with a circular chevet. Three bays with round arch, arcade under pilasters or columns. An arch closing off the chevet rests on two Romanesque capitals whose sculpture is barely visible. The south side presents a porch with an ogival tendency. A wooden gallery contains ten wooden panels with openwork and sculptured decoration from the 15th century. Inside is found what tradition calls "the bed of Saint-Cado", a kind of altar in flat stones.
