The Romanesque parts of the tower suggest that it was built between 1000 and 1200. A parish called "rochse" is mentioned in the Pähler deanery register in the 13th century. In 1246, a dispute broke out over the rights to this parish between the Habach Canonry and Counts Heinrich and Berthold von Eschenlohe-Lichtenegg. In 1491, Riegsee was placed under the control of the Habach Canonry by a bull from Pope Innocent VIII.
