    The Romanesque chapel is one of the last vestiges of the priory of GOULT which depended on the abbey of LONLAY founded by Guillaume de Bellême in the 11th century.
    Six capitals arranged on each side of the chapel porch make it remarkable for their exceptional originality. The themes are inspired by an oriental bestiary and the art of illumination.
    The three capitals on the left represent:
    - the fight of a bird against a quadruped
    - a bird pecking at a rod and two lions facing each other
    - intertwined birds and a small quadruped
    On the right, the capitals evoke the theme of hunting:
    - an archer on foot and a knight ringing the olifant, both converging towards a deer
    - a hunter brandishing a lance to strike a wolf slaughtering a goat
    - birds and a fox
