Around the year 1630, the Franciscans came from their mother house in Cologne to the Glan area around Meisenheim and pursued Catholicization with diligence and zeal.

Appointed by King Louis XIV in 1680, the Cologne Franciscan Chapter decided to found a monastery in Meisenheim. In 1685 the foundation stone for the construction of the church was laid and in 1688 the Catholic Church was consecrated in honor of the patron saint, Saint Anthony of Padua

The parish church was built according to the plans of the monastery brother Franz Matthias Heyliger. It had a ridge turret, and it was not until 1902 that a baroque church tower was added.
