The small wooden building was built in 1812/1815 according to a design by Karl Friedrich Schinkel on the right bank of the Selke in the spa town of Alexisbad, which was newly created at the time, as a tea house for Duke Alexius and Duchess Marie Friederike von Anhalt-Bernburg. Since Alexisbad did not have a church, by order of the future owner of the spa and the ducal pavilion, Duchess Friederike von Anhalt-Bernburg, services were held every two weeks in the tea house, which was eventually converted into a chapel.
