The first small chapel in Angermund was built in the 9. century and was dedicated to Saint George. 1632 the chapel was destroyed by soldiers in the Thirty Years' War.
On request of the citizens Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm of Berg provided a piece of land and ordered a construction plan for a new church. Although construction started immediately it took until 1646 to erect the exterior walls. It took five additional years to complete the interior. In 1658 the first church service took place. On the 9. of August 1697 the church was consecrated.
Saint Agnes became patron saint of the church giving the church its name. 1703 Angermund became an own Parish.
