History
A chapel must have existed in the Middle Ages at this location. A notarial deed of 1680 mentions the reconstruction of the building. This small rectangular building is covered by a roof in limestone lauzes, composed of irregular ashlar of rubble stone laid dry. To the west, the door consists of a pointed arch. The archivolt is supported on two small sculptured corbels with a face. A large round arch opening surmounts the western portal.
