Built in the century and adjacent to the Hôtel-Dieu, the chapel was transformed by the nuns into a hospital ward.

Still known as the hospital chapel, the Sainte Hélène chapel is one of the town's oldest monuments. The hospital, built in 1651, was connected to a chapel, enabling patients to attend services from their beds. In 1674, at the request of the Councillor of the Parliament of Brittany, the Augustines, nuns of the hospital, settled in Auray. The chapel was transformed into a hospital ward for soldiers, maimed sailors and victims of epidemics, and was enlarged in the 19th century. The furniture is period.
