The church was first mentioned in 1235. Its patron saints are Genevieve of Paris and Nicholas. Three architectural styles can be distinguished in the church's exterior. The lower part of the crossing tower is Romanesque, the upper part of the crossing tower is Gothic, and the nave is Neo-Baroque. For stability reasons, the church was shortened in 1994, and the monumental facade was replaced with a modern design. The church tower is 37.55 m high.

The rectangular sandstone tower between the nave and choir has a Romanesque core (12th century), which is, however, surrounded by outbuildings, so that only a minimal portion is visible: a small, irregularly bonded wall with a round-arched window with stone arches, above the roof of the southern outbuilding; the projecting sandstone section, in regular bond, is a later elevation with pointed arch sound openings connected by a cordon (15th century).
