The Catholic church was built in 1760/62 as a Baroque hall incorporating older building fabric. The St. Stephan's Monastery in Mainz was able to finance the choir, as it was obligated to maintain the choir as a recipient of the fruit tithe. The Electoral Palatine ecclesiastical administration paid for the costs of the nave. The ridge turret with bell was a gift from the Gottesthal Monastery in Mittelheim in the Rheingau. It was not until 1928 that the square bell tower was added according to the design of Philipp Starck, an architect from Ober-Ingelheim.
Previously, a 13th-century chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of fishermen and boatmen, stood on this site. In the course of the Reformation, this had been rededicated to a Protestant place of worship. During the Thirty Years' War the building burned down. In 1658 the church was rebuilt and in 1707, when the church was divided, it was finally awarded to the Catholics. The patron saint of this branch church of St. Remigius in Nieder-Ingelheim has been St. Michael since 1709.
