In 854, the King of Brittany donated the Île aux Moines to the Abbey of Saint Sauveur de Redon.
In the 11th and 12th centuries, a first triple-nave chapel was built.
It wasn't until the 16th century that the parish of Arradon was able to provide baptismal fonts due to the large number of births on the island and the difficulty of reaching Arradon, particularly in winter.
The current church was built in 1802.
It was enlarged and restored several times, notably in 1871-73, 1902, and 1931.
