The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Romane pour la plus grande partie, la chapelle a été agrandie au 14e siècle de deux chapelles formant transept. A l'ouest, une travée semble avoir été ajoutée au 16e siècle. Les deux chapelles sont voûtées sur croisées d'ogives. Celle du nord conserve un enfeu avec son gâble et deux pinacles le cantonnant. La statue du gisant a disparu. L'abside est voûtée en cul de four et la nef en berceau ogival.

History
Romanesque for the most part, the chapel was enlarged in the 14th century by two chapels forming a transept. To the west, one bay appears to have been added in the 16th century. The two chapels are vaulted over rib vaults. The one to the north retains an enfeu with its gable and two pinnacles flanking it. The statue of the recumbent figure has disappeared. The apse is vaulted with a cul-de-four and the nave with an ogival barrel vault.
