It was built in various construction phases and features Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic design elements. The oldest parts, such as the sturdy square tower and sections of the north wall, date back to the 12th century and originally belonged to a small Romanesque complex. Over the centuries, the church has been remodeled and expanded repeatedly. Between 1330 and 1338, the church received its first pastor. Around 1345, the choir with ribbed vaulting and a small sacristy in the Gothic style were constructed. Additionally, the tower was given its present appearance with the Gothic tower helmet during this time. In 1733, the Romanesque nave was extended southward and converted into a Baroque hall. The last major renovation took place in 1895, when the church building was extended to the west, during which the large cast-iron gallery was installed, giving the church its current appearance. The significant influence of the nearby Eberbach Monastery is clearly reflected in the church's patronage, first documented in 1345, which, like all Cistercian churches, is dedicated to the Mother of God Mary (feast of the Assumption of Mary, August 15). The remains of the Baroque furnishings and the Neo-Gothic altars were destroyed around 1965 due to the overzealousness of the then-pastor. The remaining sacred furnishings impress church visitors even more. Above all, of course, the devotional image - the Hallgarten Schrötermadonna.
