The origins go back to the 11th century. During the war the church was destroyed except for parts of the tower and the crypt. The reconstruction was based on the Romanesque predecessor building.

Nothing is known from documents except the church's construction date, which is believed to have been built at the end of the 11th century. It was originally a three-aisled, Romanesque columned basilica with a flat roof, no transept, and a projecting west tower. The magnificent Romanesque crypt, except for the tower, was destroyed by bombs on January 2, 1945, but fortunately it was preserved. Reconstruction began in 1946, and the church was consecrated in 1949.
