First mentioned in 777 at the founding of Kremsmünster monastery, Aschach was initially part of the eastern Duchy of Bavaria and belonged to Duchy of Austria up to the 12th Century.

During Napoleonic wars, it was occupied a number of times. Since 1918, Aschach belongs to Upper Austria state. After the annexation of Austria to German Reich on March 13, 1938, it belonged to Gau Oberdonau. The restoration of Upper Austria began after 1945.

In 1976, the church was expanded and renovated, designed by Clemens Holzmeister.
