As early as the 11th century, the village of Rehlingen was described as a church village in the letter of foundation of the Benedictine convent of St. Walburg in Eichstätt . When this church was built is unknown. In 1542 Rehlingen was reformed evangelically by the rule of Pfalz-Neuburg . In the Thirty Years' War and the War of Spanish Succession these previous church was badly damaged. Today's fortified and choir tower church has a massive Romanesque tower , the upper floor of which, like the nave, was built in 1752. The nave was built over the remains of the previous building. The church was re- equipped in the Baroque style, including the altar and pulpit from this period. In 1912 the organ was moved to the south next to the choir arch . From 1958 to 1960 the church was renovated.
