Around 1150, the parish Wersen was founded with its own chapel. In 1271, the present parish church, which is in parts still the original church, was built as a late-Romanesque vault building. The oldest building in the community Lotte was extended with a west tower in 1886 and in 1906 with a southern nave. Special features are among other, the organ, constructed by the organ builder Haupt from Ostercappeln in 1860 and the church's nail door.
