This small chapel consists of a rectangular nave extended by a choir with a flat apse. Bays topped by a semicircular arch light the nave. There is no vault but a ceiling to cover the nave and the choir. No furniture in this chapel with its-more-than modest decor, apart from a handcrafted altar in the choir, chairs and benches for the faithful. A statue of Our Lady of Lourdes adorns the side wall of the choir, behind the altar. Outside, a small bell tower housing a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes tops the roof on the facade.
The entrance door is framed by two columns supporting a triangular pediment. On the apse wall, a scroll bears the date of the blessing of the chapel.
