The original Walpurgis Church was a relatively small Romanesque transept basilica, situated on the site of the present nave. The core of the present building was an early Gothic transept basilica from the mid-13th century, which was originally built around the first building. This Gothic church building included a choir, which was replaced from 1393 by the present late Gothic choir. The original tower collapsed on 25 January 1394 and was subsequently rebuilt; the present octagonal domed spire was not completed until 1543. The early Gothic nave was enlarged from the mid-15th century onwards, with the pillars of the interior raised, to form a hall church completed in 1472, the remains of the old nave walls having been preserved.

The Wasserkirche was originally located on a small island in the Limmat, but today the church is attached to the right bank.

From 1940 excavations were carried out in the crypt for the first time. The crypt of the Wasserkirche has been open to the public since 1988.
