Origin and history

The Church of Saint-Jacut is a Catholic religious building located in the village of Saint-Jacut-les-Pins, in the department of Morbihan (British). Dedicated to Jacut de Landoac, it depends on the diocese of Vannes and the dean of Allaire. Its exact address is 2 rue de l'Abbé-Joseph-Marie-Monnier, in the heart of the village.

The current church was built between spring 1878 and June 1881, according to the plans of architect Perrin. It replaces an earlier building deemed too small to accommodate the faithful. The Way of the Cross was added in February 1882, supplementing the interior decoration. Later, between January and November 1904, the bell tower was erected by Auguste Richier, according to Perrin's plans. A clock was installed there in March 1955, finalizing this emblematic element.

On the architectural level, the church adopts a Gothic style, characteristic of the religious buildings of the late nineteenth century in Brittany. The materials used come from the nearby La Fouaye quarry. This choice reflects a desire for local anchoring, while being part of the neo-Gothic currents then in vogue in the French ecclesiastical construction.
