The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La chapelle est édifiée, en 1893, par l'architecte Henri Mellet qui réalise une construction d'inspiration néo-romane, en granite et schiste à dominante grise atténuée par l'utilisation de la brique rouge. L'édifice adopte une composition centrée sur un massif carré aux élévations surmontées de frontons triangulaires, dominé par un campanile et cantonné par quatre absides semi-circulaires. A l'intérieur, le décor se révèle absent à l'exception d'une colonnade en pierre calcaire et d'une frise venant souligner les baies. La chapelle est éclairée par d'étroites fenêtres ornées de vitraux.

The chapel is built in 1893 by the architect Henri Mellet who realizes a construction of neo-Romanesque inspiration, in granite and schist of grey dominance attenuated by the use of red brick. The building adopts a composition centred on a squared mass with elevations surmounted by triangular pediments, dominated by a campanile and flanked by four semi-circular absides. Inside, the decoration proves to be absent with the exception of a colonnade in limestone and a frieze coming to emphasize the bays. The chapel is lit by narrow windows ornamented with stained glass.
