As early as 1702, under Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm, foundations were laid for the Catholic parish church in Rastatt's market square. However, the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) prevented its construction. Under the regency of Margravine Sibylla Augusta, construction work ceased. It was only under her son, Ludwig Georg, that new plans for the church were drawn up, beginning in 1730. The citizens had repeatedly called for its construction. Finally, in 1756, construction began. The church was completed and consecrated in 1764 under the reign of Margrave August Georg.
