The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Un château existait à la Voulte, assez important durant le 16e et le 17e siècle, aujourd'hui complètement détruit. Un fossé est visible au ras de la terrasse de la chapelle, déterminant sans doute les limites de cet ancien château. La chapelle présente une nef unique à quatre travées, une abside et une chapelle latérale sud accolée sur deux travées. La nef est couverte d'une voûte en berceau brisée et séparée par quatre arcs doubleaux brisés reposant sur des pilastres plats à chapiteaux. Le côté ouest se termine par un clocher à deux arcatures.

History
A castle existed at la Voulte, quite important during the 16th and 17th centuries, today completely destroyed. A ditch is visible at the level of the chapel terrace, no doubt determining the limits of this former castle. The chapel presents a single nave with four bays, an apse and a south lateral chapel attached over two bays. The nave is covered with a broken barrel vault and separated by four broken double arches resting on flat pilasters with capitals. The west side ends with a bell tower with two arcatures.
