In the 15th century a church was built in Arsbeck. However, there was already a church in the village earlier. This church was a half-timbered building that was renovated in 1723 and 1771. It was not until 1772 that this small church received a stone bell tower. Around 1794 the structure was demolished except for the bell tower. Since the place no longer had a parish church, the church of the dissolved Dalheim monastery became the new parish church of the Arsbeck parish.

After 1800, a new, stone hall church was added to the tower on the site of the old half-timbered church. This house of worship could be designated on December 22nd, 1806 by pastor Martin Melchers from Heinsberg.

At the end of the 19th century the church became too small for the increased population and the church council considered an expansion. Before 1890, the Geilenkirchen architect Lambert von Fisenne was commissioned to plan the extension. On the north side, the church was extended in 1891 by a three-aisled basilica in the neo-Gothic style with a three-sided closed choir, which meant that the north wall of the old nave had to be removed. On the south side of the old church, the new, four-story bell tower was built in 1897, also in neo-Gothic form. The old tower was reduced in size to the level of the old nave. Thus the old church forms a kind of transept.

Since January 1, 2013, Arsbeck is no longer an independent parish. The parish was merged with some other former parishes to form the parish of St. Martin Wegberg. Since then, St. Adelgundis has been a branch church of this new large parish.
