After the great city fire of 1457, construction began on a brick, three-nave church in the Gothic style. This construction, interrupted by subsequent fires (including one in 1478), lasted until the first half of the 16th century (around 1552). The church was built on a hill, integrated into the city's defensive walls.

Reconstructions after the fires (18th century): The church was repeatedly destroyed. A fire in 1759 (started by Russian troops) caused significant damage. The reconstruction, during which the church gained Baroque domes on the towers and Baroque interior furnishings (which survive to this day), was completed in 1763.
