A church in Braunsrath was first mentioned in a document in 1240. With this document, Dietrich von Horn und Altena donated his part of the patronage rights to the Augustinian Canons' monastery Elisabethstal near Nunhem, which he had founded. Originally, the church in Braunsrath was a so-called private church of the landowners. From the 15th century at the latest, the right of collation passed to the Dukes of Jülich, who held it until the French period.
Nothing more is known about the church mentioned in 1240. What is certain is that a new church was built in 1656. Nothing is known about the appearance of this church building either. In 1848, the parish decided to replace this dilapidated church with a new building. The Cologne architect Vincenz Statz was commissioned to plan the new church. However, the plans he submitted did not initially meet with the government's approval, which is why architect Gustav Faulenbach revised Statz's plans. On December 23, 1856, the government finally granted building permission. Construction work began in 1858, and the foundation stone for the current church was laid on May 4, 1858. After two years of construction, the new parish church was completed. The ceremonial consecration took place on August 26, 1860. The old church was demolished in the meantime.
In 1939/39, the old sacristy was replaced by a new building. A small parish hall was housed on the upper floor. The damage from the Second World War was repaired by 1955.
Major restorations of the parish church took place in 1974, 1983 and 1984.
