The church was built in 1850 according to plans by the architect Josef Niehaus . It was inaugurated on October 30, 1850 and initially had the status of a chapel within the Werlte parish . In 1909 Lahn was raised to a parish curate. As a result, the church was changed several times. In 1927 a choir and two sacristies were added, and in 1980 a side aisle on the north side.
