The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Vestige d'un ensemble hospitalier du 13e siècle, mentionné dès 1314. Chapelle attribuée à la confrérie des pénitents bleus vers 1588. L'édifice, construit en briques, offre la particularité d'avoir un choeur désorienté. S'il s'agit d'un édifice dédié au culte dès l'origine, il est possible que l'orientation ait été changée pour une commodité d'accès depuis la rue. Certains indices archéologiques laissent penser à une autre affectation : salle des malades ou bâtiment hospitalier à deux niveaux, transformé en chapelle.

History
Vestige of a hospital complex of the 13th century, mentioned from 1314 onwards. Chapel attributed to the confraternity of the blue penitents around 1588. The building, constructed in brick, has the particularity of having a disoriented choir. If it is a building dedicated to worship from the outset, it is possible that the orientation was changed for convenience of access from the street. Certain archaeological evidence suggests another use: ward for the sick or hospital building on two levels, transformed into a chapel.
