The three-nave hall church, built in the Lower Rhine brick Gothic style, was founded as early as 1288, the year of the town's elevation. Its current appearance is the result of a fire in 1815, which destroyed the steeple. During the reconstruction, probably too fresh, damp wood was used, therefore the roof twisted. However, according to the legend, the devil twisted the steeple when he tried to tear out the church. The new west portal from the 1950s is the work of sculptor Ewald Mataré.
