The new Catholic church was built in 1910-11, outside the completely preserved medieval city walls. In Wittstock, a mission house with a Catholic school had existed on Kirchgasse since 1859, but this was not successful due to the frequent absence and frequent changes of priests.

It was not until 1905 that a priest lived here again. Max Lipka (1908-15) was the builder of the church, which was consecrated on July 2, 1911. This is a building designed by the Wittstock architect Bell in neo-classical style with a bell-shaped tower cap and a barrel-vaulted coffered ceiling.

A large window in the apse was bricked up after World War II. Alfons Bittner designed a mosaic cross and the tabernacle in the 1960s. The mosaic-clad altar, also created by him, has now been replaced by a wooden altar table. The Madonna is a copy of a Riemenschneider figure. The rectory, which was built at right angles, was built together with the church. In the 1950s, a barrack was set up in the garden as a community center.
