The chapel, which was completely restored in 2000, is unusual in that it was built on a small mound of schist stone and has a slate roof with a polygonal bell tower.

Inside, you can admire a pretty fresco.

In the past, this chapel was the venue for many weddings of the Sainte-Marie family, who occupied the château until the Revolution and whose name it still bears today.
