St. Mary's Church in Groß Salitz is one of the oldest churches in Mecklenburg.
In 1230, Groß Salitz was mentioned as a parish village in the Ratzeburg tithe register.
Contrary to previous assumptions, construction began in the second half of the 13th century. The building was constructed as a three-aisled basilica. This and the unusually rich interior and exterior decoration with molded stones and terracottas suggest that the church had a special significance beyond the region. It was probably a pilgrimage church.
At first the church was under the patronage of the parish priest of Gadebusch.
