After canceling 1698/99 was below the Habacher canons the present church built Matthias Pauhofer. The consecration took place in 1708, the painting was not done until 1780–90 by Johann Sebastian Troger from Weilheim .

Up until secularization in 1805, Sindelsdorf was divided into two parishes: the “upper parish” of St. Georg in the north, belonging to Habach monastery , and the “lower parish” with St. Mary's Church in the south, which belonged to Schlehdorf monastery and thus to the diocese of Freising . The Marienkirche was demolished in 1807/08 and the rectory was built in its place .

In 1883 the previous saddle roof on the church tower was replaced by a slate-covered rhombic roof. The cemetery formerly surrounding the church building was abandoned in 1910 and rebuilt about 200 meters further north.

In 2010 the church of St. George was renovated .
