The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La chapelle est un petit édifice de plan en croix latine, à nef courte et chevet plat, construit vers 1664. D'une grande sobriété extérieure, elle présente une charpente de très grande qualité. L'enduit du choeur conserve des fragments de peintures murales à décor floral datant du 17ème siècle. La chapelle abrite en outre un beau mobilier du 17ème siècle. Un calvaire en kersantite s'élève dans le placître de la chapelle. L'ensemble est homogène et très peu transformé. Enfin, les vestiges de l'enclos sont encore visibles.

The chapel is a small building with a Latin cross plan, with a short nave and flat chevet, built around 1664. Of great external simplicity, it presents a roof structure of very high quality. The render of the choir preserves fragments of mural paintings with floral decoration dating from the 17th century. The chapel also houses fine 17th century furnishings. A calvary in kersantite stone stands in the plaza of the chapel. The ensemble is homogeneous and very little altered. Finally, the remains of the enclosure are still visible.
