[FR] Cette chapelle date du XIIIe siècle. Elle est tout ce qui reste du prieuré bénédictin de Gourby, qui dépendait de l'abbaye de Cagnotte fondée vers l'an 900 par des moines bénédictins.
La muraille de la chapelle irrégulièrement percée d'étroites fenêtres et dépourvue de toute ornementation témoigne éloquemment de la pauvreté monacale vécue au prieuré de Gourby. En 1975, elle a bénéficié d'une restauration par les soins bénévoles de ses habitants.

[EN] This chapel dates the XIIIth century. It is all which remains of the priory a Benedictine of Gourby, which depended on the abbey of Kitty based(established) at about the year 900 by monks Benedictines.
The wall of the chapel irregularly leaky of narrow windows and devoid of any ornamentation testifies eloquently of the monachal poverty lived in the priory of Gourby. In 1975, she benefited from a restoration by the voluntary care of her inhabitants.
