This church had been built upon the remains of an ancient Roman construction. During Merovingian times, this had been a small convent which had been offered to Willibrord in 698 by Abbess Irmina from Oeren (Trier). In the 10th and 11th century a 3-nave church had been built and was enriched by a gothic ceiling in 1480.
The vaulted frescos appeared during the late Gothic. Several transformations had been carried out later.
