St. Mary's Church was built between 1259 and 1320 as a Gothic hall church, parts of whose furnishings are still preserved today. For example, the miraculous image of "Our Lady of Altlünen", the Enthroned Madonna, the Standing Madonna, the baptismal font and the triumphal cross.In the years 1894 - 1896, the Gothic hall church was demolished and a neo-Gothic basilica was built. The church was completed with the installation of the organ, but was damaged during the Second World War.In the years 1991 - 1996, the windows in the high choir and in the side aisles were renewed.
