The parish was probably founded in the 13th century. In 1277 the right of patronage came to the Abbey of Floreffe. The church grounds served as a redoubt from the 16th century. To this end, the church grounds were surrounded by a moat and only accessible by a drawbridge. In 1568, for example, the population repeatedly sought refuge in the church tower, when the surrounding area was made unsafe by all kinds of troops. The church suffered damage, which was repaired in 1600. In 1614 a new sacristy and a new portico were built. In 1865 the moat was filled in. In 1912 the old walled church was demolished and a new one was built. It was executed in neo-Romanesque style. Architects were Hyacinth Martens and Vincent Lenertz. In 1928 and 1935, murals were painted by Peter Heidbüchel, which were later painted over.
