The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La chapelle représente l'une des premières expressions du style néo-plantagenêt. Elle fut édifiée, entre 1856 et 1858, par le comte Théodore de Quatrebarbes, afin de recevoir les sépultures de Cathelineau, généralissime des armées vendéennes, mort au Pin en Mauges en 1793, et de son fils décédé en 1832. La chapelle fut consacrée en 1858 par Mgr de Dreux-Brézé et devint la propriété des Sœurs de Saint-Charles en 1861 avant d'être acquise par la commune.

The chapel represents one of the first expressions of the neo-Plantagenet style.

The chapel was consecrated in 1858 by Mgr de Dreux-Brézé and became the property of the Sisters of Saint-Charles in 1861 before being acquired by the commune.
