Built in 1664
An inscription dates the construction to 1664 and names Derich Mennikes and Sibilla as its founders. This makes the shrine one of the oldest surviving structures of its kind in the Kempen area. On 19 December 1985 it was added to the List of Historic Monuments in Kempen under monument number 107.
Neo-Gothic addition around 1900
A second inscription records that the shrine was plastered and extended in the Neo-Gothic style in the year 1900. This reworking gave the aged structure its present appearance, combining seventeenth-century building fabric with the design language of around 1900.
