history

The previous building in the same place was the Agidius Church, built in 1464, which served as a simultaneous church during the French Reunion in the second half of the 17th century . In 1733 a new nave was built . In the years 1757–59 the church tower and 1786–88 the nave were subjected to restoration . The church was demolished in 1866 due to its dilapidation .

The current church building, built between 1866 and 1867 according to plans by the builder Anton Hurt, was inaugurated on October 14, 1867. The church suffered massive damage during World War II , which was repaired by 1957. In the course of repairing the war damage, the church was also redesigned.
