After the town's Protestant Christians received a blockhouse church in the Reformation year of 1537, it was demolished for the new construction of the Marienkirche. After the foundation stone was laid in April 1558, the new church was consecrated in February 1564. Construction management was started by Wolf Blechschmidt from Pirna and was taken over by Christoph Kölbel from Plauen in 1560. During a city fire on August 31, 1610, the church building burned down to the outer walls, the tower and the later sacristy. From 1611 to 1616 it received a ceiling, pillars and galleries made of wood. From 1616, services were held again in the church and the triumphal cross was erected. A new altar was erected in 1617. The wooden pillars and the wooden ceiling were replaced by Andreas Klengel from 1669 to 1675 with Tuscan stone columns and cross vaults with stuccoed ribs.

The foundation stone of the church was laid in April 1558. For this purpose, the log church built for Protestant Christians in 1537, the year of the Reformation, was demolished. St. Mary's is the youngest of the three late Gothic hall churches in the Ore Mountains, after St. Wolfgang in Schneeberg and St. Anne's in Annaberg. It was consecrated as the Evangelical Lutheran St. Mary's Church in February 1564.

The main building is 45 meters long and 26 meters wide, with three naves of equal height and seven bays.

The master builder was Wolf Blechschmidt from Pirna (who significantly influenced the construction of St. Mary's Church in Pirna). The tower halls still display Blechschmidt's late Gothic rib vaulting. Grillenburg sandstone, and perhaps also Postelwitz sandstone, was used as building material.
