"Commissioned by Madame Gonnet, the chapel was erected by the architect Charles Leroy in 1858. It must have been large enough to contain around forty burials.

Neo-Gothic style, the chapel is made of stone, and consists of two bays. It is lit by stained glass windows designed by Adolphe Napoléon Didron evoking the patron saints of the sponsors. It wears sculptures made by Charles Saint-Aubert, brother-in-law of Charles Leroy."

" Commandée par Madame Gonnet, la chapelle est érigée par l'architecte Charles Leroy en 1858. Elle devait être suffisamment grande pour contenir une quarantaine de sépultures.

De style néogothique, la chapelle est en pierre, et composée de deux travées. Elle est éclairée par des vitraux dessinés par Adolphe Napoléon Didron évoquant les saints patrons des commanditaires. Elle porte des sculptures réalisées par Charles Saint-Aubert, beau-frère de Charles Leroy. "
