The church building of today's St. Salvatoris Church, first documented in 1230, fell victim to the floods of the Elbe. However, the stones and inventory of the previous church were saved from the floods.

In the spring of 1685, today's half-timbered church was rebuilt with financial support from Hamburg, Lübeck, Bergedorf and the Vier- and Marschlanden from the old materials of the previous church above the Elbe. Due to the financial situation of the town of Geesthacht, the then favorable half-timbered style was chosen for the new construction of the church.
