The tower of the church, which was built from local Nagelfluh , dates from the 12th century . The church was originally built in the Gothic style, only to be changed to Baroque style and then to be regothicized again. The two coats of arms of the builder Ludwig von Rothenstein and his wife Jutta von Hürnheim are carved at the entrance of the church together with the year 1439 . On a measuring sheet from 1821 there is a cemetery around the church, this no longer exists. The two bells in the tower were cast in Kempten in 1863. The branch chapel in Ittelsburg suffered the same fate as the parish church of St. Philipp and Jakob in Bad Grönenbach and was cleared out and "modernized" between 1967 and 1969.
