Although its period of construction is not specified in the available sources, it bears witness to the architecture and religious history of this French region. His name, dedicated to Saint Quentin, a Christian martyr of the third century, suggests an ancient tradition, but there is no additional information to date his foundation or major transformations.

Parish churches like the one in Rapilly played a central role in the life of rural communities in Normandy. They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social events, local festivals and collective decisions.

Their presence also reflected the importance of the Christian faith in the daily and spiritual organization of the inhabitants.
