The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Il est possible que l'origine de la chapelle remonte aux Templiers, mais il ne subsiste rien ou à peu près de cette époque. L'édifice est rectangulaire, avec porte encadrée d'un motif à fronton et surmontée d'un oeil de boeuf garni de six rayons rectilignes. Le rampant du pignon est à petits redents munis au sommet et aux deux points bas de petites croix en granit. A l'intérieur, un arc en pointe d'ogive sépare la nef en deux parties à peu près égales. Cet arc est certainement le seul vestige de la partie romane.

History
It is possible that the origin of the chapel goes back to the Templars, but little or nothing remains from that period. The building is rectangular, with door framed by a pediment motif and surmounted by an oculus furnished with six rectilinear spokes. The slope of the gable has small redents furnished at the top and at the two low points with small crosses in granite. Inside, a pointed arch separates the nave into two approximately equal parts. This arch is certainly the only remaining vestige of the Romanesque part.
