Historique
La chapelle de la confrérie a été érigée au 16e siècle. Au 18e siècle, le choeur s'orne de peintures murales (figuration d'un retable en trompe-l'oeil et Déposition de Croix). En 1792, l'assemblée législative supprime toutes les confréries de France. L'oratoire est abandonné pendant de nombreuses années. En 1820, il menace ruine et la confrérie, qui s'est reconstituée, le restaure. Aujourd'hui, la chapelle est désaffectée. L'édifice comporte une façade pignon percée d'une fenêtre haute et d'une porte à deux vantaux. Les élévations latérales sont scandées de contreforts. Le chevet est plat. L'intérieur se compose d'une nef terminée par un choeur supportant un décor mural.

History
The chapel of the confraternity was erected in the 16th century. In the 18th century, the choir is adorned with mural paintings (representation of a retable in trompe-l'oeil and Deposition from the Cross). In 1792, the legislative assembly suppresses all confraternities in France. The oratory is abandoned for many years. In 1820, it threatens to collapse and the confraternity, which has reconstituted itself, restores it. Today, the chapel is deconsecrated. The building has a gable façade pierced by a high window and a two-leaf door. The lateral elevations are marked by buttresses. The chevet is flat. The interior consists of a nave terminated by a choir supporting mural decoration.
