The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette chapelle devait autrefois comprendre une nef, un transept, et une abside communiquant avec deux absidioles, plan typique de la période romane. La nef a dû disparaître la première, sans doute détruite par les Routiers ou les guerres de Religion au 15e siècle. Les voûtes en pierre du transept et du choeur se sont ensuite écroulées. En 1521, elles sont remplacées par un berceau lambrissé. Le chevet est construit suivant la formule du 12e siècle. Les absides sont voûtées en cul-de-four. Cet édifice était utilisé comme chapelle de pèlerinage.

This chapel should formerly have comprised a nave, a transept, and an apse communicating with two absidioles, a plan typical of the Romanesque period. The nave must have disappeared first, probably destroyed by the Routiers or the Wars of Religion in the 15th century. The stone vaults of the transept and the choir subsequently collapsed. In 1521, they are replaced by a panelled barrel vault. The chevet is constructed according to the formula of the 12th century. The absides are vaulted with cul-de-four vaults. This building was used as a pilgrimage chapel.
