After the Reformation, the Rheinböllen Catholics belonged to the parish of Schnorbach. The dissolution of the Simultaneum in 1710 prompted the construction of a provisional chapel in Rheinböllen.
A new church was built between 1775 and 1777 due to the formation of a new parish with the annexes of Mörschbach, Erbach, Dichtelbach and Kleinweidelbach. 1841 Addition of a western tower in the neo-Romanesque style. The hall-shaped nave measured 56x32 feet and the choir may have been Romanesque. Inside there was a flat ceiling and galleries. Today's church was built between 1870 and 1872 according to plans by the district master builder Sasse, Simmern.
Description and equipment:
Three-nave neo-Gothic hall church with facade tower. Chorus drawn in to the north. Unplastered brick masonry over the rubble stone base. Inside, ribbed vaulting over octagonal pillars. The equipment from the time of construction has been completely preserved: altars, pulpit, confessionals, communion bench, statues of saints - newly painted according to an old model in 1985. The most valuable part of the equipment is the glazing from the years 1895-98. They are figurative representations in beautiful colored designs. The windows in the nave are donations from the Puricelli family and those in the chancel are from Dean Sellen. The organ was built in 1874 in the workshop of the organ builder Hünd in Linz am Rhein.
