This chapel is the only remaining vestige of a leper hospital known from the 14th century and annexed to the hospital of Bourbon in the 18th century. The edifice retains bosses with concentric mouldings painted in red, a cupboard with ornament, a piscina and several crosses of the order of Saint-Lazarus carved on the walls.
