The first written record of a church in Massenheim is 1100 years old (909 AD). King Ludwig the Child, a great great grandson of Charlemagne, officially bequeathed his Villa Massenheim to the Archbishop of Mainz Hatto. The church is mentioned in the deed. A dramatic event occurred in 1579, when the dilapidated church spire collapsed and destroyed the church nave. Reconstruction work began in the direst times in 1581

The late gothic church tower is still preserved today. There are good stylistic examples to be seen on the door in the southern tower wall, the arcades of the belfry and on the inside, on the rib vault supports in the choir. Only about 150 years later the church was once again in a ruinous condition following the destruction and horrors of the 30-Year War and the Black Death. After much effort and a lengthy planning period it was finally possible to rebuild and extend the church aisle in 1762. As a result, the church today consists of a late baroque nave and a late gothic tower

The decoration and furniture of the church were added much later and much of it already shows some signs of early classicistic characteristics

The baptismal font is a real gem, erected in 1631 by Christoforus Florus, an officer in the Swedish army. His father was the pastor of Massenheim. The oldest bell dates back to 1742. The church is protestant. Already in the early 16th century, just after the Reformation, the clergy of Massenheim adopted their ideas. Thus, in an atmosphere in which the rulers also supported the reformation, one of the early protestant parishes was established in Massenheim.
