The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'oratoire a été édifié en 1613. L'édicule, situé au sud du village, est de plan pratiquement carré, élevé, et construit en moellons. La niche en plein cintre est voûtée en berceau. L'inscription de fondation est au centre d'une frise ornée de volutes. Les deux versants du couvrement forment un fronton. La couverture est en laves. La statue en pierre du Dieu de Pitié est de bonne facture et conserve une certaine expressivité.

The oratory was built in 1613. The small building, situated to the south of the village, is of an almost square plan, raised, and constructed in rubble stone. The round-arch niche is vaulted with a barrel vault. The foundation inscription is at the centre of a frieze decorated with scrolls. The two slopes of the roof structure form a pediment. The roof covering is in stone slates. The stone statue of the God of Pity is well executed and retains a certain expressiveness.
