Jean-Baptiste Guichardaz, in 1739, decided to have the chapel built on his land in honour of Notre-Dame des Ermites and the Holy Souls in Purgatory.

Three coloured wooden statues can be found in the chapel, the most important being that of Saint Barbara. Every year on 4 December, a solemn mass is celebrated with the participation of the entire population. At the end of the service, an auctioneer holds an auction sale, the proceeds of which are donated for restoration work on the chapel.
