[FR] À l’origine il y avait une chapelle construite au XIe par les templiers. Les hospitaliers de Carentoir, très présent dans la région à cette époque en héritèrent. Celle-ci, par contre, fut reconstruite en style gothique vers 1523 et garda son égide envers Saint-Jean qui était aussi le patron de cet ordre pieux et très actif dans les croisades.
[EN] It was originally a chapel constructed in the 11th century by the Templars. The Hospitallers of Carentoir, very active in the region, inherited it.
