This monument, whose location is estimated as fair (level 5/10), was included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 3 April 1992. Today it belongs to the commune and is located at a specific address: 6168 Le Miroir, in the department of Savoie, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Hamlet chapels, like Sainte-Brigitte, often played a central role in the life of Alpine rural communities. They served as a place of worship, a gathering for local festivals, and sometimes as a geographical landmark in remote mountain areas. Their construction and maintenance generally reflected the collective organization of the inhabitants, as well as their attachment to religious and cultural traditions rooted in the territory.
