In prehistoric times there was an open-air sanctuary of the Batavians on the site of the church building. In Roman times, two Roman temples stood there: the Temples of Elst from the first century AD. There are still remains under and around the church. These are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lower Germanic Limes.
