The late Gothic Briccius Church is located right next to the castle in Bad Belzig. Despite severe damage in the Thirty Years' War, the church has largely survived in its original form. In 1530, Martin Luther visited the church when he was a guest at the castle.

The building, which was built in the Middle Ages as a church in the suburbium of Sandberg, was first mentioned in a document by Bishop Baldram of Brandenburg in 1186. Another mention is made in 1361, when the von Oppen family donated an altar in honor of Maria. This date is therefore used in the Dehio handbook. Another altar for Maria Magdalena has survived from around 1450. The chancel and the church tower were probably built in the 15th century. In 1530 Martin Luther visited the church as part of a visitation. At a later point in time, the building was listed as the Heilig-Geist-Kirche, until the parish consecrated it again on July 10, 1619 under the name Bricciuskirche. The building was badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt in 1663. At this time, the flat ceiling was provided with a ship's throat decoration and painted with floral elements. In the years 1903 to 1936 further renovation work was carried out, which also included the interior.

The church is dedicated to St. Briccius. Legend has it that he was not that holy. He probably made a child of a nun. Well, just a man. God surely forgave him his little sin!
