history
When the Palatinate church was divided in 1705, the old Asbach church came to the reformed community. The four Catholic families living there at the time were looked after from Neunkirchen . Around 1800 there were around 100 Catholics in Asbach who attended church services in Neunkirchen or Bargen . Already at that time there was a desire to build a Catholic church in the village, but first priority was to build a schoolhouse. Around 1820, another church building project failed because the planned building site was given to a master butcher instead of the parish. The Catholic community finally came into possession of a suitable building site through a testamentary donation from the former mayor Johann Adam Brunner, on which the church, consecrated on August 9, 1892, was built from 1890.
The church was renovated in 1969/70.
