Originally dedicated to Saint-Antoine, this off-centre chapel on the old Gattières road was built in the 11th century, before the village was founded.
The chapel, which had fallen into serious disrepair, was sold in 1790 as national property to a citizen who donated it to the Confrérie des Pénitents Blancs in 1805. Enlarged and modernised in 1822, the chapel was blessed. The feasts of Saint-Antoine, Saint-Pétronille and Saint-Claude were celebrated there. It then became the centre of a pilgrimage for the feast of May, which was abandoned because the orange blossom harvest.
In 1973, the town council entrusted the chapel, which had fallen into serious disrepair, to the painter Charles Delporte for decoration. He then donated his works to the municipality. Since then, the exterior of the chapel has been restored to its original condition, with the roof to be restored in 2021 and the façade in 2022.
