Since about 1450 stood at this point, the small Gothic village church. Only after the construction of the basilica 130 years ago was the expansion of the parish church, which was inaugurated in 1904 on a similar ground plan as today as a magnificently designed, neo-gothic church.
After a fire in 1982, it was rebuilt and inaugurated in 1987.

This is the actual center of the old village of Kevelaers. Only with the emergence of the pilgrimage did the center shift towards the Chapel of Grace and Chapel Square. Kevelaer was first mentioned in a document on May 10, 1300.
