The Roman Catholic parish of IJsselmuiden was founded on 1 January 1857 and is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. Before 1857, Catholics from IJsselmuiden attended church in one of the two stations in Kampen. The first church in IJsselmuiden was built in 1859. Due to the growth of the parish, a larger church was built on the same site in 1919. The architect was Jan Stuyt and the contractors were the Koenders brothers from Enschede. The church was consecrated on 7 October 1919. The relics of Saint Damian and Saint Euphemia were placed in the main altar.

The church is part of a complex; until 1976 the monastery complex of the Oblate Fathers, from 1976 the Penitentiary Institution "Ter Peel".

Only the entrance to the church has remained outside the fences of the penitentiary institution.
