Built in 1851, it replaces a building (bearing the same name) built in 1785 below the hill (date inscribed on a stone of the current bell tower).
A sarcophagus was found near the 1766 chapel. Legend had it that it belonged to Saint-Guénolé. In reality, however, the identity of the coffin's occupant remains unknown. It has now been returned to the chapel, where it is on display.
His Pardon is celebrated every year on the second Sunday in June, when the generosity of all those involved makes it possible to organize a local festival after the traditional mass, the procession to bless the fountain and the magnificent bonfire.
Next to the chapel are a cross, a fountain and a well.
