The Dyckburg Church was built on the site of a former castle, of which only fragments are left today. The castle was used by the Bishop of Münster for military purposes. There was the headquarters of Bishop Franz von Waldeck , who besieged the city of Munster, ruled by the Anabaptists , in 1534 and 1535 ; there the troops gathered, which under the command of Count Wirich von Dhaun finally stormed the walls of Munster.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Provost Ferdinand von Plettenberg commissioned the baroque master builder Johann Conrad Schlaun to build a mansion on the former castle grounds. In addition to two farm buildings, a small chapel was built, which was inaugurated in 1740. The model was a chapel building in the Marian pilgrimage site of Loreto in Italy. Accordingly, the entrance area of ​​today's church is still called the Loreto Chapel.

At the end of the 19th century, the entire site was sold to a nobleman who commissioned the architect Rincklake from Münster to expand the chapel with a round building as a church space and a neo-baroque choir area.

From 1949 to 2008 the Dyckburgkirche was the parish church of the small Dyckburg community. Since 2010 the church has belonged to the parish of Sankt Petronilla in Münster-Handorf .

organ

The organ was built in 1966 by the organ builder Alexander Schmieding with the support of the organ building company Kreienbrink (Osnabrück). Existing pipe material was reused in the instrument. In 1979 the remote plant was added, which is located above the main entrance. The Kegelladen instrument has 22 stops on three manuals and a pedal . The actions are electro-pneumatic.
