Weert already had a chapel, which was incorporated in 1787 as a choir in a brick church.
In 1859 the church was enlarged according to a design by Joseph Schadde. The nave was extended and a choir and a transept were built. Sacristies were also added. In 1875 the tower was demolished and a new one built according to a design by Léonard Blomme. The windows were renewed in 1929.
The church was deconsecrated in 2021.

Artist Koen Nelissen will turn the deconsecrated church building into a museum and an arts center.

"There will be changing exhibitions, with work by the artist himself, and also by national and international artists with mainly educational topics such as faith, environment, war, refugees. In addition, there will also be classical concerts for small groups. Weert is often visited by walkers and cyclists. It is interesting to be able to open the church in this way."
