Rheinfelden was predominantly Catholic until the late 19th century (Roman-Catholic until 1870, after the schism Christian-Catholic). The evanglical-reformed church was built in 1895 by Joh. Vollmer at the main road outside of the medieval center of town, but is now completely surrounded by residential areas.

The church is a white building with uncolored granite corners and borders, the steeple has a very pointed roof and it appears much smaller than it actually is, when you look at the front side.

The church was completely renovated and got a new organ in 1973/74. Also a chancel was added.

In 2011 the church had another modification, that corrected the acoustic problems the 1970s changes had caused.

Next to the standard service in German there are also some offers in French.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1895
