The monastery was founded by the Lords of Ems . A chaplaincy is mentioned for the first time in 1423 . The church at that time burned down in 1508. In 1515 a new building took place. In 1594 the chaplaincy was raised to a parish. In 1776 the church was restored and rededicated in 1782. However, the church burned down again in 1927. For this reason, Alfons Fritz built a new building in 1928 and 1929. This was consecrated in 1930.
