The Landaul parish is first mentioned around 1400. Today's municipality originally belonged to the two lordships of Kerambourg (also Keremboulch) and Kerambartz (also Kerambarh). The reign of Kerambourg later passed to the Malestroit family from Kaër, who made it a duchy in 1552. Both lords came to the Robien family in modern times (17th / 18th century).

In 1944 the German Wehrmacht executed six young men from the Landaul community who were close to the Resistance.
