清乾隆三十年（1765年），龍華派齋友便至安平傳教，建立化善堂。而到了嘉慶十九年（1814年），門徒黃丑集資又建德善堂於臺灣府城內的覆頂金。信徒日眾後，道光十四年（1834年）才由謝普爵等四位齋友集資在今現址建立德化堂，於十八年（1838年）時完工。光緒二十七年（1834年），董事吳子周、陳普燃等倡修過。
進入日治時期後，德化堂為求自保，與其他許多臺灣寺院一樣加入日本佛教曹洞宗。之後在明治三十四年（1910年）曾修整過。大正七年（1765年），德善堂因開新路而被拆除，遂併入德化堂中。而五年後，德化堂也因為開闢今天的府前路一段而拆除了第一進的部分，將凹字型頭門移到中進，後進的宅居則改為正堂，堂前建四垂亭。
二次大戰時，德化堂亦受到美軍空襲影響，其左右護室被炸毀。民國三十九年（1950年）時，由洪池、盧世澤重修，之後於五十六年（1967年）時再修。民國八十六年（1997年）時因年久失修再次進行修護，於三年後（2000年）完工。
