The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chapelle sans doute antérieure au 15e siècle, présentant deux éléments d'intérêt : un plan presque cruciforme et un volume extérieur simple ; des traces de peinture murale. Pour certains, la nef représenterait la chapelle primitive qui aurait été allongée au 15e siècle. Un petit campanile avec beffroi en fer forgé se trouve à la croisée du transept. Un arc en tiers-point avec chanfrein marque le seuil de cette seconde travée. En 1625, réfections intérieures importantes et peintures. £Selon une tradition très ancienne, cet édifice serait né d'un voeu prononcé par le seigneur de Salzuit.

Chapel no doubt earlier than the 15th century, presenting two elements of interest: an almost cruciform plan and a simple exterior volume; traces of mural painting. For some, the nave would represent the primitive chapel which would have been extended in the 15th century. A small bell tower with wrought iron belfry is found at the crossing of the transept. A pointed arch with chamfer marks the threshold of this second bay. In 1625, significant interior repairs and paintings. According to a very ancient tradition, this building would have been born from a vow pronounced by the lord of Salzuit.
