The two-tower village church of St. Gangolf has its origins in the 12th century in the Romanesque period. In 1571 Lords of Brühl were enfeoffed with Gangloffsommers by Elector August von Sachsen. The most famous representative of this family was Heinrich von Brühl (1700–1763), who became Prime Minister of Saxony. The place belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office Weißensee until 1815 . In 1806, French soldiers looted the village. From 1815 Gangloffsömmern belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia ( Weissensee district ). In the middle of the 19th century, new farm buildings were built for the manor in the southeast of Gangloffsommern. In 1855 the two steeples of the village church could be rebuilt, which had to be demolished in the 18th century due to the risk of collapse.
