History

A parish church dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Rot an der Rot. It was given to the abbey in 1341 by Heinrich III von Schönegg, bishop of Augsburg. Rot an der Rot shared half of the patronage rights of the church of Amendingen with the Charterhouse of Buxheim from 1477, and sold its half of the rights to the charterhouse in 1642. 

The current church building dates to the 18th century.
