The chapel of Saint-Julien-le-Martyr existed in the Valley from the 15th century. On an old parchment dating back to the year 1436, it is written, in fact, that "near the bridges of Tiffauges, however in the lower parish of Torfou" is a chapel that the inhabitants "have newly built and erected, offered, for cause of devotion, in honor of God, of the blessed Mary his Mother, and of Saint Julien the Martyr".
Two centuries later, in the year 1607, the accounts of the Fabrique de Torfou mention, among other expenses, a sum of "twenty-four sols" disbursed by it for the payment of "windows put in the chapel of the bridge of the Rinière*". Of this ancient building burned down by the Blues in 1791, only the walls remain.
