There are records from the Carolingian period (868) on the history of the parish of Stauten, but none of them mention the first church building that undoubtedly existed at that time. The predecessor of today's church was probably built in 1389 when the collegiate monastery was founded. A local fire in 1680 also damaged the church building, but it could be repaired. After further changes in the 18th century, the new building was planned. In 1865 the current neo-Gothic building was consecrated as a Catholic parish church by Bishop Pankratius von Dinkel as the Peter and Paul Church. The 65m high tower dates back to the 13th century with its foundations and has a pointed bright watch. Between 1977 and 1982 the church underwent a major restoration. A recent renovation started in 2020 and was completed in 2021.
