A wooden church stood on the site of today's Church of the Holy Cross until 1693, but it collapsed in a fire. Elector Frederick III, who regularly stayed at his palace in Wusterhausen, subsequently commissioned the construction of a stone church. Over the years, the church was expanded several times.

It underwent its most significant reconstruction at the beginning of the 19th century, when the original wooden tower was replaced by the striking octagonal tower. The restored paintings in the interior are also particularly worth seeing.
