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.
