The belltower and adjoining masonry apse are all that remain of a church built in 1909 by German and Spanish Capuchin missionaries, when Ponape and the other Caroline Islands were administered as part of German New Guinea.

The rest of the church was destroyed during the fighting of World War II.

The tower has a foundation of basalt rock and lime mortar, and is constructed out of concrete bricks.

[3] The tower and apse were listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
