History
This chapel, built in 1676, is one of the rare examples of a rural Breton chapel of classical architecture. It is an edifice of rectangular plan, with flat chevet joined, in the axis of the chapel, with a sacristy with five sides of later construction. The west gable presents a rectangular door surmounted by cornicing, and a niche surmounted by an oculus. The bell tower is square and surmounted by a small spire.
