The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Bâtie sur un site occupé dès lépoque gallo-romain, la chapelle de Briailles est le fruit de deux tranches de construction : au XIIe siècle, un premier édifice à nef unique et abside demi-circulaire, correspondant à lactuelle nef ; au XIIIe siècle, un prolongement vers lest, fermé par un chevet plat. Vers 1671, une litre funéraire dédiée au baron Bianki, dorigine polonaise et seigneur du château voisin, est peinte sur les murs. Sous la Révolution, la chapelle est désaffectée, vendue comme bien national et transformée en bâtiment agricole. Elle est remise en état et rendue au culte en 1896.

History
Built on a site occupied since the Gallo-Roman period, the chapel of Briailles is the result of two building campaigns: in the 12th century, a first building with single nave and semi-circular apse, corresponding to the present nave; in the 13th century, an extension to the east, closed by a flat chevet. Around 1671, a funeral heraldic border dedicated to Baron Bianki, of Polish origin and lord of the neighbouring château, was painted on the walls. During the Revolution, the chapel was deconsecrated, sold as a national property and converted into an agricultural building. It was restored and returned to worship in 1896.
