After another major flood in 1764, today's church with the patron St. Clemens was built . This was always the patron saint of the previous church a relic, but only came into the new church in 1770. In the Upper Village stood since time immemorial, a St. Sebastian Chapel, which was also dilapidated. After decades of struggle for a new building, the flood in 1764 brought the decision. The last church service was celebrated on November 3, 1765 in the old church, which was once the mother church of St. Johanneskirche in Waldshut. Your stones were used in the new building.
In 1766 construction management was transferred to the Waldshut master builder Ferdinand Weizenegger . The St. Sebastian Chapel was demolished in 1767. In 1768 the shell was completed.
