The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Chapelle qui remonterait au 13e siècle, fondée par les Templiers. En 1312, leurs biens furent attribués aux religieux de l'ordre Hospitalier de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem. En 1568, la maison, métairie et hôpital Saint-Jean furent concédés à Prigent de Trécesson par lettres patentes de Charles IX. Dès lors, les seigneurs de Trécesson en gardèrent la propriété et s'y firent inhumer. Les murs épais sont en petit appareil irrégulier de pierres de schiste du pays. Le sol intérieur est constitué par la roche qui affleure. La chapelle a été très remaniée au 17e siècle.

History
Chapel which would date to the 13th century, founded by the Templars. In 1312, their property was assigned to the religious of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. In 1568, the house, farmstead and Saint John hospital were granted to Prigent de Trécesson by letters patent of Charles IX. From then on, the lords of Trécesson retained ownership and had themselves buried there. The thick walls are of small irregular coursing of local schist stone. The interior floor is constituted by the rock which outcrops. The chapel was much reworked in the 17th century.
