The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice reconstruit en 1709 à l'emplacement d'une chapelle romane du 12e ou 13e siècle. La nouvelle construction reprend probablement le plan de l'ancienne, notamment dans l'abside et les absidioles latérales. En 1792, la chapelle est vendue comme Bien National. Rachetée par la commune, elle est rendue au culte en 1815. Au 19e siècle, un hospice est élevé contre le choeur du bâtiment.

Edifice rebuilt in 1709 at the site of a Romanesque chapel of the 12th or 13th century. The new construction probably follows the plan of the former, particularly in the chevet and the lateral absidioles. In 1792, the chapel was sold as National Property. Repurchased by the commune, it was restored to worship in 1815. In the 19th century, a hospice was built against the choir of the building.
