In a document from 1189, Bishop Otto II (1177-1196) presented the Cistercian monastery in Langheim with its own church in Marienweiher. The donation was renewed in 1217.
A monastery and a hospice were built near the church. During the turmoil of the Hussite invasions (1419-1436), the church buildings in Marienweiher were plundered and destroyed. Marienweiher also felt the effects of the Thirty Years' War since the first Swedish invasion on June 6th, 1631. Looting and destruction took place until 1647 by troops from both denominations. The 18th century was a period of lively building activity for Marienweiher, culminating in the new construction of the baroque nave after 1718/19 and the tower (1743-1745); In 1777 a second expansion of the monastery took place. With the secularization (1802) came the civil occupation and dissolution of the monastery.

As a pilgrimage church, there are also suitable stands around for souvenirs, etc. Gastronomy around the church.
