The brick building was built in the late Romanesque period around 1200 and initially served as a parish church. At the latest since 1386 they only served as a chapel. As early as the 16th century, its function as a place of worship was abandoned.

The tower was then raised in the Gothic style to 47 m. From 1697 the ensemble of tower and chapel served as the main guard. A tower watchman was employed on the tower, who primarily served as a fire watch. This guard only fell away in 1910 with the installation of a tower clock.

Until 1935, the building continued to be the fire station of the Luckau volunteer fire department. The tower was remodeled in 1969. Since then, the chapel has served as the small festival hall of the city of Luckau and is used, among other things, for civil marriages. A visit and a tower ascent are possible.

The Hausmannsturm dates from the 17th century, was initially smaller and then increased more and more (today 47 m).
After the tower was raised, the main guard was housed here. The former tower apartment is still clearly visible. The house man and night watchman monitored the city from here because of frequent fires and had to blow the alarm in case of danger and to wake up residents, magistrates, the spraying master and the chimney sweep. Another task of the house man was to announce the time by calling the hour.
In 1931, a severe storm hit the city and severely damaged the tower. Repair work began in 1935. Until 1935 the building was used as a syringe house. During the Second World War, the tower was guarded.
