The present chapel dates from 1746, as shown by the keystone in the vault of the church. Above the main portal, in a niche, we recognise St. Hubertus, patron saint of the chapel. Inside, the architectural structure from the time of construction in 1746 has been preserved.

The church was built from 1844-1850 in the classicist style according to the plans of the provincial architect Theodor Eberhard from Luxembourg. The monumental porch gives the impression of old temples; 4 fluted, Doric columns support a triangular gable with the symbolic "Eye of God".
The current Church of Saint Andreas was built at the beginning of the 20th century due to the lack of space in the earlier chapel to accommodate worshipers. The interior decoration dates back to the renovation works of 1978. In the choir there is a net vault. The floor is covered with tiles from the construction period (1910), which are monochrome or polychrome and have floral or geometric patterns.
The present chapel was built in 1725 on the foundations of an earlier building. The first chapel known in Pettingen belonged to the Knights of Pittingen, the high nobility of the county and later the Duchy of Luxembourg. It was attached directly to the castle. The remains of the castle can still be seen nect to the present chapel.
