The church, which began in 1957 and was consecrated in 1958 by the Eichstätter Bishop Joseph Schröffer , is one of the youngest sacred buildings in the district and was built for the residents of the mainly Protestant Nennslingen, who moved here as refugees or expellees . On the front there is a glass painting by the artist Emil Böhm , which shows the Mother of God as a protective cloak Madonna . In 2002 a popular altar with a representation of Christ was consecrated. A special feature of the church is that it was built on an oval floor plan.
