The chapel is located in the centre of the village and was particularly frequented by pregnant women and people suffering from ringworm. The chapel consists of a short nave with two axes and a choir with sloping sides. The two stained glass windows are from the Berges ateliers in Toulouse. Their construction remains a mystery, but is probably attributed to the 17th century. The chapel was renovated in 1972.

The clock was installed in the bell tower in 1845. The two paintings that still adorn the choir today date from 1856 and 1861.
