This neo-Gothic funeral chapel was built between 1850 and 1852 by Thérèse Pauline Lagotellerie as a tomb for her husband Charles Farnous.
It was built to plans by architect B. Fontaine. The façade features statues of Saint Theresa on the right and Charles Borromeo on the left. The tympanum features a bas-relief by sculptor Pradier depicting Charles Borromeo treating the plague victims of Milan in 1537, as well as the striking Pietà in the sanctuary. The Saint-Charles Borromée chapel belonged to Victor Clappier in 1870, who bequeathed it to the Archbishop of Digne. It was saved from destruction by the Germans during the war, thanks to the energetic attitude of parish priest Davignon. In 1984, it was bought by the municipality for the symbolic franc.
