The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La chapelle date du début du 16e siècle. Elle est construite entièrement en granit. A l'exception des chapelles latérales qui sont peut-être d'une construction postérieure à celle du vaisseau principal, l'édifice a été bâti d'un seul jet. Une tourelle d'escalier placée sur la face ouest donne accès aux charpentes et au beffroi situé sur la travée du choeur.

The chapel dates from the beginning of the 16th century. It is built entirely in granite. With the exception of the lateral chapels which are perhaps of a construction later than that of the main vessel, the edifice was built all at once. A staircase turret placed on the west face gives access to the roof structure and the belfry situated on the bay of the choir.
