Formerly the church of the hamlet, the chapel consists of a Romanesque sanctuary of circular form, and two bays of nave, raised in the 13th century, vaulted on rib vaults. The western door is sheltered by a modern porch. The portal is decorated with an archivolt with sawtooth pattern carried by two small columns. Wall paintings on the apse in cul-de-four. Sculptured and painted capitals.
