The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Dans son état actuel, le cimetière se réduit à deux dalles funéraires en grès disposées de part et d'autre d'une croix fruste en pierre, tournée vers l'est. Les deux dalles portent la date de 1637 et une épitaphe. Cet ensemble rappelle la dernière grande épidémie de peste pendant la guerre de Dix ans.

History
In its present state, the cemetery is reduced to two sandstone funeral slabs arranged on either side of a crude stone cross, facing east. The two slabs bear the date 1637 and an epitaph. This ensemble recalls the last great plague epidemic during the Ten Years' War.
