Built in 1414, the church stands on the embankment of the old Roman road from Salzburg to Augsburg.
Unique in Europe is the Willibald ride, which has been held annually since 1712. The blessing is given to riders and horses when they ride through the church.

The first pilgrimage church was built as early as 1414 under the Fürstenfeld abbot, Johann II of Bibrach. Why the Cistercians of Fürstenfeld built a church in honor of Saint Willibald is unclear. The Cistercians otherwise promoted the veneration of Saint Leonard. It is likely that Willibald was already being venerated at this site before then. Saint Willibald is the patron saint of animals.
In July 1983, director Wolfgang Büld filmed the music video for the punk rock band Die Toten Hosen's single "Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder" in the church. The filming, which took place over a weekend and was described as "quite turbulent," led to excitement and outrage among the residents of Jesenwang and led to the priest re-consecrating the church shortly thereafter.
