Since the journey to St. Laurentius Church in Steele was difficult, citizens founded a church building association in 1887. In 1893/1895, the church was built and consecrated according to a design by the architect Josef Kleesattel. It was placed under the patronage of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of miners.
