Near the tourist area of the Frasne peat bogs, at a place called « scierie de l’étang » (sawmill of the Pond), on the edge of the Frasne pond, on the road to Bonnevaux, stands a small chapel. It is part of a group of houses and factory buildings built around 1930 constituting the place called « hamlet of the sawmill » renamed « hamlet of the pond ».
It has been abandoned for a long time, too long according to its current owner who has undertaken its restoration. In the 1980s, it welcomed Vietnamese priests and it has become a place of artistic expression since its reopening in 2007.
It is a modest building with a rectangular plan consisting of a single nave lit by four bays and a semi-circular choir. The whole is covered by a gabled roof and topped by a small bell tower.
