It is surmounted by a bell tower topped by an arrow finished by a cross. The interior is vaulted in pointed arches falling on lamp butts. The vault painted in blue is dotted with stars. The whole is a mixture of baroque and neo-gothic.
Although privately owned, the chapel is open to visitors during European Heritage Days and to worship once a week during the month of May. A phylactery on the façade of the chapel bears the inscription: "Ave Gracia Plena". The top of the portal in brace ends with a cross where are engraved a date, 1863 and a crest with the arms of the family of Menthon which is dated 1594.
