The Seekirche was begun before 784, probably initially as a small, wooden basilica with visible ceiling beams. The church tower was completed in 1403, destroyed by lightning in 1655 and rebuilt in Augsburg in the style of Elias Holl. The nave was enlarged in 1728 . Inscriptions inside: Leopold Fugger's epitaph above the sacristy door; various warrior commemorative plaques.
Stone plaques on three pillars commemorate the "Seefrörnen", the complete freezing of Lake Constance in 1573, 1830 and 1963.

The parish church of St. George in Wasserburg am Bodensee belongs to the "Kirche am See" parish community. Although the church was extensively renovated in 2014, damage is once again becoming apparent. Extreme weather events and heavy rain, in particular, have taken their toll on the historic building, demonstrating how severely even listed buildings are affected by increasing weather conditions.
