Its origins trace back to 1375, with its oldest sections built in Romanesque style.

In 1958, the church was expanded significantly to accommodate the growing population, including many displaced persons settling in the area after World War II.

This restoration, led by Thomas Wechs, doubled the size of the worship space with the addition of northern and southern round extensions.

The municipality is home to nine other notable churches, such as St. Ulrich in Diepertshofen and St. Leonhard in Roth, as well as 38 smaller religious monuments, including chapels, crosses, and the Lourdes grotto in Raunertshofen.

Rising numbers of students and the lack of special rooms made an extension necessary, which was finished in 1997.

Bus lines: Pfaffenhofen lies at the junction of the Günzburg - Babenhausen and Senden - Ichenhausen roads.
