The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice du 16e siècle incendié par les protestants : voûtes d'origine détruites et remplacées par une charpente. L'édification de cette ancienne chapelle de pèlerinage est due à la découverte d'une image de la Vierge à la fin du 15e siècle. Une autre origine est donnée selon laquelle la chapelle aurait été édifiée par la baronne de Fumel une fois sa fille, égarée en forêt, retrouvée dans une clairière. D'importants vestiges subsistent de l'édifice primitif. Le portail flamboyant est couvert d'un porche du 19e siècle. Les écots noueux en guise de supports de pinacles rappellent la découverte de l'image dans un chêne. Le plan rectangulaire se termine par un clocher-mur élancé.

Building of the 16th century set on fire by protestants: vaults of the original destroyed and replaced by roof structure. The construction of this former pilgrimage chapel is due to the discovery of an image of the Virgin at the end of the 15th century. Another origin is given according to which the chapel would have been constructed by the baroness of Fumel once her daughter, who had strayed in the forest, was found in a clearing. Important vestiges of the primitive building remain. The flamboyant portal is covered by a porch of the 19th century. The gnarled logs as supports for pinnacles recall the discovery of the image in an oak. The rectangular plan ends with a slender porch tower.
