The Langan church was built at the end of the 19th century by the Rennes architect Arthur Regnault in place of the old church. Construction began with the elevation of the nave and the bell tower between 1878 and 1880. This bell tower had partially collapsed in 1876. It was only between 1894 and 1896 that the transept, the choir and the sacristy were built. (pop.culture.gouv.fr)

The current building was built between 1885 and 1888 (dates given) by the architect Arthur Regnault. True to form, he reuses old elements in the masonry, including sculpted elements from the 16th century, as well as a coat of arms bearing the date 1766. (sortir-en-bretagne.fr)

The oldest remains of the parish church of Sainte-Justine de Gévezé date from the 12th century, notably a bay in the south wall of the nave. The Sainte-Justine Church was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries, of which it retains some elements of its framework, or even gargoyles and crossettes with fantastic animal shapes. A tower had been built between 1614 and 1628. This one threatening to fall into ruins was rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century, in a different place: the bottom of the nave. The plans and specifications for this new porch bell tower were drawn up by Jacques Mellet who took delivery of the work in 1858. (wiki-rennes.fr)
