The church, dedicated to St. George, was founded in 1040. Donated by Irmgard von Aspel, it was supported by the Rees chapter. In 1249 the church was granted its independence. At the same time, it was extended by an early Gothic tower and a side aisle, which was connected to the old church to create more space for the large congregation.
Burned down and rebuilt in 1450 and 1672, damaged by flooding in 1874 and extended by the construction of a choir section with two bays. The current high altar was built in 1877 and the Stations of the Cross in 1887. Baptismal font from 1683 with the inscription: "In holy spring - escaped death - won life". The wooden statue of Mary Queen, created around 1540 and attributed to the "Cologne School", was placed in a wall niche of the poorhouse in the old churchyard until 1934. The wooden statue of the Holy Mother Anna with Mary comes from the Schledenhorst monastery, which was dissolved in 1806. The 22-register loop organ with mechanical and electronic registers was installed in 1982. (Source: City of Rees)

according to Wikipedia: The Catholic parish church of St. George is a listed church building. The parish had been incorporated into the collegiate church in Rees since 1229. The three-aisled, neo-Gothic brick pseudo-basilica was built from 1874-1876 according to plans by Heinr. Wiethase. From 1921-1922, under the direction of J. van Aaken, it was extended to the west by two additional side aisles, each with three bays. The two basement floors of the west tower, which is divided by pointed and trefoil arches, come from a previous building from the second half of the 13th century. The two upper floors were built of brick in the 15th century.
