Originally, a Romanesque church stood on this site, likely founded by the Count of Loon. In 1078, Countess Ermengardis donated the patronage rights of this church to the chapter of the Sint-Bartolomeüskerk in Liège.
In the mid-15th century, construction began on the church in the Maasland Gothic style, starting with the choir, which is presumed to date from 1452. The nave is from the early 16th century. The Romanesque tower was retained. In 1506, a Chapel of Saint Anne was built on the orders of Arnold van Mewen and his wife Aleydis Bormans, forming the present southern transept arm.
