A first chapel was built in the 12th century. built by the Knights of Pyrmont. In 1460 the first church was built, which was destroyed to the ground during World War II. The new building from 1950 was renovated in 1994.

The Swan Church is located near Roes in a so-called parish of the six communities of Binningen, Brohl, Dünfus, Forst, Möntenich and Roes in the Vordereifel. The church is a place of pilgrimage and a place of Marian devotion. It was built between 1950 and 1952 as a successor to the church that was destroyed in World War II. The parish to which the Schwanenkirche belongs is Forst (today part of the Kaisersesch parish community). There are other interpretations of the origin of the name Schwanenkirche and the swan in one of the keystones in the vault of the earlier church, as well as the weather vane on the cross of the ridge turret instead of a rooster. Among other things, it is said that "Swan" means a fork in the road and that the church stands at a crossroads. The connection with the Counts of Bassenheim, on whose property the church stands, also seems possible; they have the swan in their coat of arms.
Quite inconspicuous from the outside, the effect of the colorful windows, which creates a special atmosphere inside the church, is particularly evident in the sunshine.
