In 1790, therefore, a first church was built in a modest construction in the district south of the Dornbirner Ach, namely on what was then Landstraße, not far from today's Hatler Brunnen in the historic centre of Hatlerdorf.
Today, only a wayside cross reminds us of the original church building, which is called the "Hatler Chapel".
The Neo-Romanesque church was built between 1860 and 1866 according to the plans of the Bavarian court building inspector Eduard Riedel in the Munich round arch style.
The very colourful painting of the barrel-vaulted Hall]] was created between 1890 and 1892 according to a theological picture programme by the then Hatler priest Ferdinand Gierer.
The Swabian painter Hermann Lang was commissioned with the execution of the pictures, and the Württemberg artist Hans Martin with the decorative painting.
