L'édifice est abandonné après la première guerre mondiale. Il témoigne des premières tentatives du style gothique de l'ouest, dans la partie sud du Loir-et-Cher. Certaines sculptures ont conservé leur polychromie.

History
This chapel is the last evidence of the settlement of regular canons of Saint-Augustin on this site. The founding deed of the priory dates back to 1034. The building presents the architectural characteristics of the late 12th century. In 1562, the priory is pillaged by Protestants. Sold during the Revolution, the chapel is transformed into a dwelling. The building is abandoned after the First World War. It testifies to the first attempts of the Gothic style of the west, in the southern part of Loir-et-Cher. Some sculptures have retained their polychromy.
