Of style Flamboyant Gothic, this chapel is built at the request of the Lords of Coamenech, whose fief is situated to Plouider. It possesses a low nave in the lowered arches and there are some tracks of a terrace surmounting a hall, on the west wall. On April 13th, 1917, its bell tower is shot down by the lightning and will never be reconstructed. It shelters the grave of the Lords of Kerivoas and several old statues, among which those of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Saint-Corentin and Saint-Égarec. During the Revolution, the chaplain, abbot Guillaume Péton, refuses to take the oath and takes refuge at a farmer's of the village, Guillaume Abautret. Denounced, he is arrested at the same time as the vicar of the parish, abbot Habasque and both priests are imprisoned in Brest
