The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Chapelle en forme de croix avec un choeur peu saillant : la façade sud et le chevet sont de plain pied avec l'extérieur du coteau. La nef est la partie la plus ancienne. Un escalier muré disposé dans l'épaisseur du mur donnait accès à un jubé disparu. A l'intersection du transept, quatre colonnes engagées étaient destinées aux arcs de voûte pour croisée d'ogive. Du côté de la porte méridionale, se trouve un blason avec lions héraldiques, aux armes de Jégado.

History
Chapel in the form of a cross with a slightly projecting chevet: the south façade and the chevet are level with the outside of the hillside. The nave is the oldest part. A walled staircase arranged within the thickness of the wall gave access to a vanished rood screen. At the intersection of the transept, four engaged columns were intended for the arches of a rib vault for the crossing. On the side of the southern door, there is a coat of arms with heraldic lions, bearing the arms of Jégado.
