It was first mentioned in the 9th century, along with Corvey Abbey. From 1528 to 1531, the previous building was demolished, and the choir was rebuilt using materials from the old church. High-quality sandstone blocks were used for the single-nave nave. In 1881–1882, further reconstruction took place, during which the old church tower and sacristy were demolished. A new tower, side chapels, and two sacristies were built. Today, only the right side altar remains of the original furnishings. As the church had become too small, the hall church was expanded in 1957 by adding two side aisles to create the current hall church. In 1987, the interior was completely redesigned with an impressive star vault beginning on consoles. Noteworthy are the frescoes in the choir, uncovered in 1531, depicting the Coronation of the Virgin Mary, the Crowning with Thorns, John the Baptist and Saint Vitus, the patron saint of the church.

For all railway enthusiasts: In Lathen (Emsland), an old steam locomotive has stood as a memorial since 1977, commemorating the long-gone narrow-gauge railway between Lathen and Werlte. The locomotive is nicknamed "Pingel Anton." Although it didn't run on this line, its design resembles the engines that once steamed along here. The memorial locomotive originally came from Donawitz, a town on the Hungarian-Austrian border.
