Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of building, typical of the French countryside, generally served as a place of worship and assembly for the local community.

Their architecture and decoration reflected local resources and know-how, while marking the landscape with their symbolic and spiritual presence.
