Meinbrexen was a place of pilgrimage in pre-Reformation times. In 1583 the Meinbrexen manor went as a fief to the von Münchhausen family. They exercised the church patronage until 1695, then it passed to the von Mansberg family, who still exercise it today. 1585-1589 the dilapidated hall church was rebuilt from rubble stones at the instigation of Statius von Münchhausen. The altar, the pulpit and the frescoes on the walls, which were only uncovered in 1990 during the renovation of the interior and restored by 1995, date from the late Renaissance period.

The interior is covered with a wooden beam ceiling, which according to the inscription was renewed in 1738. The sides of the double-storey altarpiece are decorated with scrollwork and fittings. As the main image, Jesus' Last Supper is presented in a mannerist manner. It is framed by the virtue figures of Caritas and Fides. In 1738 repair work was carried out on the roof truss, during which the roof tower was also erected. During the extensive renovation work in 1957-1958, the altar and the pulpit dating from 1589 and its sound cover were restored. The window on the east wall was bricked up and the altar moved further into the centre. In 1981 and 1987 the roof tower was slated, the gabled roof of the nave was covered with Solling slabs and the outer walls were plastered.
