The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ancienne aumônerie de l'ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem dépendant de Merlevenez au 12e siècle, la chapelle devient possession de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de la Joie au 13e siècle. L'édifice est reconstruit au 15e siècle. De plan en Tau, l'édifice se compose de deux nefs désaxées, séparées par un mur diaphragme surmonté d'un clocheton. La nef haute est entièrement peinte au 15e siècle. Des personnages sont figurés sur fond d'arabesques. Une danse macabre témoigne sans doute de la représentation probable du dit des Trois morts et des Trois vifs. Une Annonciation se trouve dans l'ancienne chapelle nord.

History
Former almonry of the order of Saint-Jean de Jérusalem depending on Merlevenez in the 12th century, the chapel becomes possession of the abbey Notre-Dame de la Joie in the 13th century. The building is rebuilt in the 15th century. Of Tau plan, the building consists of two offset naves, separated by a diaphragm wall surmounted by a small bell tower. The upper nave is entirely painted in the 15th century. Figures are depicted on a background of arabesques. A danse macabre probably testifies to the likely representation of the said of the Three Dead and Three Living. An Annunciation is found in the former north chapel.
