History
Rectangular chapel of which the western gable, alone built of coursed stones, and surmounted by a square bell tower, is pierced by a doorway with Flamboyant decoration, with defaced coats of arms. Above the door, a long scroll with inscription in Gothic characters. The windows, in pointed arch, with Flamboyant tracery, have been mutilated. The choir preserves two Flamboyant piscinas. A stone bench runs inside all around the chapel.
