Die in den 1630er Jahren erbaute Kirche ersetzt eine gotische Kirche, die 1633 durch einen Brand zerstört wurde.
Diese Kirche war eine der wenigen, die im Dreißigjährigen Krieg nördlich der Alpen erbaut wurden und eine der größten und kunsthistorisch reichsten Kirchen der deutschen Spätrenaissance. Im Jahr 1874 wurde die Pfarrkirche St. Leodegar gegründet und damit wurde die Kirche gleichzeitig eine Klosterkirche und Pfarrkirche, so wie sie heute ist.

Built during the 1630s, the church we see today replaced a gothic church that was destroyed by fire in 1633.
This church was one of the few built north of the Alps during the Thirty Years War and one of the largest and art history rich churches of the German late renaissance period. In 1874 the parish church of St. Leodegar was founded and with that the church became simultaneously a monastery church and parish church, as it is today.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1633
