Basilica Maria St. Petrus und Paulus was donated by St. Gottfried von Cappenberg in 1123.
St. Cappenberg had been interrred there in 1127 and Pope Pius XI. elevated
the Church to Basilica Minor status in 1929.
Due to secularization in 1803, its cloister had been abrogated.
After World War II, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mainz repurchased the cloister from the state Hesse.
Today the church is a landmark of Ilbenstadt which is also visible because of the eternalisation on town emblem. Regionally, the church is also known as Dom der Wetterau
