The old parts of the chapel date back to the Romanesque period. The building was enlarged twice, towards the 14th and 15th centuries. The chapel consists of two distinct parts separated by a transverse wall section pierced by three pointed-arch openings. The choir and its surroundings are the oldest part. The square chevet opens by a flamboyant window. The nave belongs to the 15th century.
