A church in Schleiden is mentioned for the first time in 1310. This was rebuilt or completely rebuilt in the 16th century. In 1836 Schleiden becomes an independent parish, before that the place belonged to the parish of St. Martin Aldenhoven . A new church was built around 1862, but the old tower from the 16th century was retained. This presumably neo-Gothic church was completely destroyed by an air mine on August 30 or 31, 1943 due to the Second World War . From 1952 to 1953 a new, two-aisled modern church was finally built. It was solemnly inaugurated on April 26, 1953 by the Aachen Bishop Johannes Joseph van der Velden .
