The Saint-Hospice chapel was built in the 11th century on the ruins of a sanctuary.
Its appearance evolved over time.

It was completely restored by the Duke of Savoy Charles Emmanuel II in the 17th century, then enlarged and equipped with an altar in the 18th century. The portico dates from 1826. It was last renovated between 2020 and 2022.
It owes its name to a Benedictine monk named Hospitius, who lived in a tower around 575 A.D. in total destitution, inflicting heavy penances on himself to earn his way to heaven.
Legend has it that when the Lombards invaded the coastline (as the monk had predicted), one of them tried to kill the hermit, but his arm was suddenly paralyzed and he lost his sword, which fell to the ground. Once freed, the Lombard was baptized and went to preach the Gospel. Hospitius is credited with the miraculous healing of a deaf and dumb man, a blind man and a demon-ridden woman.
