After the dissolution of the Wechterswinkel monastery, the protective mantle Madonna in the church, a wooden relief created around 1590/1600, became a popular pilgrimage destination and a model for numerous wayside shrines in the Braidbach area. Today's church was built when it was enlarged in 1715. In 1999 the interior was renovated for the last time.
