The original branch of the Liebfrauenbergkirche in Rankweil became a chaplain in 1460 and a parish in 1843. In the middle of the 15th century there was a George Chapel. A new building was erected at the end of the 17th century. In 1831 the church was enlarged with master builder meat. In 1903/1904 a new church was built according to the plans of the master builder Josef Schöch and consecrated in 1905. In 1960 there was a restoration. From 1970 to 1972 the church was redesigned with the visual artist Willi Buck .
