The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Chapelle construite à la fin du 13e siècle. Dès la fin du 15e siècle, elle ne sert plus qu'aux offices funéraires et à la messe de célébration du saint tutélaire. Au 18e siècle, elle tombe en ruines, puis subit des réaffectations successives. Fresques de la fin du 15e ou du début du 16e siècle sur l'arc triomphal et la voûte.

Chapel built at the end of the 13th century. From the end of the 15th century, it served only for funeral rites and the Mass celebrating the tutelary saint. In the 18th century, it fell into ruin, then underwent successive changes of use. Frescoes of the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century on the triumphal arch and the vault.
