Origin and history
The Church of Saint-Nicodeme is a Catholic building located in the town of Quily, in the commune of Val-d'Oust, in the department of Morbihan. Built in the late eighteenth century, it features a Latin cross-shaped architecture. Originally dedicated to Notre-Dame des Neiges, it has been under the patronage of Saint Nicodemus since 1802. An inscription engraved in the west porch, dated 1790, mentions the name of Reouet, then mayor of the commune.
The church houses a protected element: the inscription located near the South Gate, classified as historical monuments since 25 September 1928. According to historical sources, the building was built in 1689, probably at the initiative of the Castel family, who owned a fire and a private chapel. This double dating suggests separate construction or renovation campaigns.
Today, the church belongs to the municipality of Val-d'Oust and remains an active place of worship. Its architecture and history reflect the religious and social evolutions of Brittany, including the changes of words and traces of local noble families such as the Castel. The building, although partially protected, bears witness to the region's rural religious heritage.
