The church was founded by the Lords of Coten, who have been evidenced as episcopal servants since 1193 . It was a branch church of Albachten , the pastor was first mentioned in 1242. The square, Romanesque west tower with coupled sound openings is still preserved from the foundation building from the end of the 12th century . On the first floor, the tower vault rests on warriors . The arched window openings on the vaulted upper floor are walled up. Around the middle of the 14th century, the Romanesque nave was replaced by a Gothic one. The choir dates from around 1500. The church's choir and sacristy were used from 17th to 19th centuries. Century as the burial place of the noble family Droste zu Hülshoff , which made various foundations for church and community. In the 17th and 18th centuries the church was damaged and plundered several times, and the parish archives were destroyed in the course of the Thirty Years' War . The population of Roxel rose sharply in the 19th century. Increasing damage to the structure of the nave finally led to the decision to build a new building in 1893. When it was demolished at the end of the 19th century, wall paintings from the 15th century were discovered under the plaster . Hilger Hertel the Younger built the neo-Gothic hall longhouse from 1898 to 1901 and renewed the tower portal . The new nave was consecrated on April 17, 1901 by Bishop Hermann Jakob Dingelstad .

There are two side apses on the east and two chapels on the west , which flank the Romanesque tower. The slate-roofed church is crowned with a slim, pointed roof turret. There is a stair tower on the north side between the nave and the choir . The base is made of Ibbenbüren stone and the walls are clad in Baumberger sandstone .
