L'édifice se compose d'une nef unique voûtée se terminant par une abside en cul-de-four fermée par une cloison sur laquelle s'appuie l'autel. La chapelle a reçu un décor peint portant la date de 1667, restauré à la fin du Second Empire puis vers 1930.

The building is composed of a single nave vaulted, ending in an apse with a cul-de-four closed by a partition on which the altar rests. The chapel has received painted decoration bearing the date of 1667, restored at the end of the Second Empire and then around 1930.
