history

In 1019 a church in Zons was named among the possessions of the Deutz Abbey . It was a branch of the parish church in Bürgel . Around 1300 the church seems to have been elevated to a parish church, in liber valoris a pastor was named at that time. The final separation from Bürgel did not take place until 1593.

A new Gothic church was built in the 14th century by the Archbishop of Cologne, Friedrich III. built by Saar . This was a three- aisled building with a small, built-in west tower. This church was replaced in 1875–79 by a large neo-Gothic new building with three naves based on plans by Vincenz Statz and August Carl Lange .
