The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chapelle de confrérie, datée de 1634, appartenant aux Pénitents de la Sainte-Croix. Elle se compose d'une nef unique couverte d'une voûte à pénétration qui a reçu un décor peint au 19e siècle. La façade principale, à deux niveaux, est surmontée d'un fronton triangulaire brisé, lui-même sommé d'un clocheton à arcades. A l'étage, la serlienne dénote d'une influence italienne.
