Historique
Edifiée au 12e siècle, la chapelle servit dès le 17e siècle d'oratoire à la confrérie du Saint-Rosaire et de lieu de culte paroissial. L'édifice se compose d'une nef romane et de deux chapelles latérales à cinq pans du 17e siècle. L'appareil fait de dalles de schiste gris veiné, comporte une alternance d'assises larges et minces. Le linteau de la porte de la façade occidentale, repose sur des consoles formant avancée. Au-dessus du linteau, l'arc en plein cintre légèrement surhaussé est fait de claveaux épais et renferme un tympan nu. Au sommet du fronton, se trouve la croix ajourée. Le tympan de la porte latérale sud, est occupé par des serpents.

History
Built in the 12th century, the chapel served from the 17th century as an oratory for the Brotherhood of the Holy Rosary and as a place of parish worship. The building consists of a Romanesque nave and two lateral chapels with five sides of the 17th century. The masonry made of veined grey schist slabs comprises an alternation of broad and thin courses. The lintel of the door of the western façade rests on consoles forming an overhang. Above the lintel, the slightly pointed-up round arch is made of thick voussoirs and contains a bare tympanum. At the summit of the pediment is found the openwork cross. The tympanum of the south lateral door is occupied by serpents.
