The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La chapelle, depuis sa construction en 1524, n'a subi que peu de modifications. L'abbé Joseph Vavasseur, dans sa monographie publiée en 1923, l'attribue à la générosité de Gilles Hommède, alors curé de Luché. L'édifice développe une architecture simple mais se distingue par ses voûtes lambrissées du 16e siècle peintes au pochoir, tant dans la nef que dans les chapelles.

The chapel, since its construction in 1524, has undergone only few modifications. Abbé Joseph Vavasseur, in his monograph published in 1923, attributes it to the generosity of Gilles Hommède, then curate of Luché. The building develops a simple architecture but is distinguished by its ceiling sheathings of the 16th century painted with stencils, both in the nave and in the chapels.
