The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette chapelle castrale, utilisée en même temps comme église paroissiale, a été construite hors de l'enceinte du château, près de son accès. Les seigneurs de Vouhet y furent inhumés jusqu'en 1607. Abandonnée au profit d'une nouvelle chapelle bâtie dans l'église, cet édifice tomba en ruine faute d'entretien.

History
This castle chapel, used at the same time as a parish church, was built outside the castle enclosure, near its entrance. The lords of Vouhet were buried there until 1607. Abandoned in favour of a new chapel built in the church, this building fell into ruin through lack of maintenance.
