history

A church in Broich was first mentioned in a document in 1377. Nothing is known about this first chapel today. In 1804 Broich became an independent parish. Today's church was built in 1781 in the Baroque style as a single-nave hall church with a bell tower in front with an onion dome in the west and a choir closed on three sides in the east. The church was badly damaged during World War II . The tower collapsed down to the basement. In 1949 the church was rebuilt exactly as it looked before the war.

Until December 31, 2012 Broich was an independent parish . On January 1, 2013 the parish was merged with 13 other former parishes to form the parish of Heilig Geist Jülich.
