Rectangular chapel which, shortly after its completion, was enlarged by a small nave adjacent to the south side. The chevet presents, in setback one above the other, two gables with windows. One of the stained-glass windows dates from 1556. The great nave possesses decorated tie-beams. The gable of the great nave is plain; that of the small one is garnished with crockets.
