There was probably an independent parish in Rossem as early as the 12th century, the patronage of which was held by the Abbey of Dielegem. In 1220 there was already talk of a tithe area of this parish.

In the 17th century, Rossem again became dependent on the parish of Wolvertem. A church in Rossem was first depicted in 1735. At that time it was a one-aisled Gothic church. In 1767 a presbytery was added and the church was again served by a priest living in Rossem. In 1790 Rossem became an independent parish again.

The surrounding cemetery is enclosed by a low brick wall with a plinth and blue limestone covering slabs, above which is an iron gate with elaborate cast-iron columns. The western and eastern entrances are flanked by block pillars. The gravestones vary in both design and material, the oldest of which, primarily made of blue limestone, date back to the second half of the 19th century.
