The church was built in economically difficult times from 1929 and 1931 and was consecrated on 15 March 1931.[1] The church is built from dimension stone. The interior is dominated by a depiction of the Ascension in the choir. The building was damaged by fire in 1988. It was restored by the architecture firm of Hermann-Josef Geismann.
The first pipe organ was built in 1949. It was damaged by fire in 1988, and was damaged so badly that it could not be repaired. A new organ was built by Hans Peter Mebold (Siegen). The expert who reviewed it when completed on 1 February 1990 described as "Orgelwerk (…), das im westfälischen Orgelbau eine führende Position einnehmen dürfte" (an organ which is expected to take a leading position in Westphalian organ building).
