In 1864 the community commissioned the building inspector Ferdinand Robert Cremer from Aachen to build a new church, which was built in 1868/69. In 1937/38 the interior of the church was painted by the painter Ernst Jansen-Winkeln from Mönchengladbach . In 1980 the celebration altar was made from the communion bench . After the original painting from the construction period was uncovered, it was restored in 1988/89 by Willi Sevenich from Aachen.
