The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La chapelle est un exemple particulièrement intéressant de la persistance d'un type traditionnel de petit édifice cultuel dans cette région des Pyrénées. De plan rectangulaire, construite en brique, la chapelle est couverte par un plafond en bois peint caissonné. Les caissons sont décorés de quatre motifs : monogramme de la Vierge, tête d'ange, motifs de fleurs différents. Chaque motif se retrouve sur une diagonale. Un retable occupe tout le fond.
