The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Erigée entre 1864 et 1872, la chapelle est un édifice qui allie les styles néo-gothique et néo-roman. Entièrement construite en pierre de taille et entourée d'une clôture, elle est richement ornée tant intérieurement qu'extérieurement. Sans que l'on connaisse l'identité des artisans qui ont concouru à cette oeuvre, il semble évident que le propriétaire a fait appel aux plus grands noms, sans doute parisiens, de cette période du second Empire.

History
Erected between 1864 and 1872, the chapel is a building that combines neo-Gothic and neo-Roman styles. Built entirely in ashlar and surrounded by a fence, it is richly ornamented both internally and externally. Although the identity of the craftsmen who contributed to this work is not known, it seems evident that the owner called upon the greatest names, doubtless Parisian, of this Second Empire period.
