Originally a Romanesque church existed on this site, which was probably founded by the Count of Loon. In 1078, the patronage rights of this church were donated by Countess Ermengardis to the chapter of Saint Bartholomew's Church in Liège.
In the mid-15th century, the construction of the church in Maasland Gothic, first of all the choir, which presumably dates from 1452, started. The ship is from the early 16th century. The Romanesque tower has been preserved. In 1506, Arnold van Mewen and his wife Aleydis Bormans built a Chapel of St. Anne, which forms the current southern transept arm.
In 1606 the spire blew over and damaged the Chapel of Our Lady, which had been built in 1469. Chapel and tower were restored. In 1831 the tower was again dilapidated and was restored. From 1901 to 1902 the church was enlarged, the tower was demolished and a new one built, the nave was extended by one bay in the west, side aisles were added, as well as the northern transept and the sacristy.
