The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chapelle construite en 1654, qui appartint à la famille Claussomette. Les dates inscrites de 1811 et 1840 doivent correspondre à une restauration. C'est une petite construction carrée, percée uniquement d'une porte d'entrée sur la façade. Les croisées d'ogives reposent sur quatre culs de lampe. La couverture est en dalles de pierres. Primitivement, d'après l'appareil, la façade devait être ouverte jusqu'à hauteur d'appui, suivant le dessin de la grande arcade. Une croix placée en avant et quelques bornes plantées sur le bord des deux chemins complètent l'ensemble.

Chapel built in 1654, which belonged to the Claussomette family. The inscribed dates of 1811 and 1840 must correspond to a restoration. It is a small square construction, pierced only by an entrance door on the façade. The rib vaults rest on four corbels. The roof covering is in stone slabs. Primitively, according to the masonry pattern, the façade must have been open up to sill height, following the design of the great arch. A cross placed in front and a few bollards planted on the edge of the two paths complete the ensemble.
