Welbergen is home to one of the oldest preserved parish churches in the Münsterland: the oldest parts of the parish church of St. Dionysius date from the early 12th century and thus from the Romanesque period. When the late Gothic choir was added (1511) the nave was increased, recognizable in the half-timbering on the north side. Inside there are some fragments of wall painting from the time the choir was built, probably depictions of the apostles. The church was thoroughly repaired in 1954.

Construction of the new St. Dionysius Church in Welbergen began in 1901 and was completed in 1908. The desire for a new building and thus a replacement for the old parish church (today: old church) came from the faithful, the pastor Heinrich Gatersleben as well as the bishop of Münster, Hermann Dingelstad. The old church was simply too small to offer a sufficiently large place of prayer for the growing population. Under the direction and planning of the architect Theodor Wenking from Münster, a classic neo-Gothic church building was created as a basilica, the two aisles of which are dominated by the main nave.

This neo-Gothic church is the newer of the two churches in Welbergen. For such a small place this is a stately church!
