The first written mention of the parish in Gleisdorf took place in 1229. The branch church of the parish of Sankt Ruprecht an der Raab was completed around 1500.

From 1891 to 1894 the existing church was expanded to the east according to plans by the Graz architect Robert Mikovics and the appearance of the sacred building was permanently changed.
