The church was consecrated to St. Nicholas around the year 1200, reformed in the second half of the 16th century and elevated to the house church of the Counts of Quadt in 1569. After the new construction of Schloss Wickrath, the building was renovated in a representative manner.

Until the Second World War, the parish was Reformed, but as a result of immigration, the confession is now united.
