In the middle of the 13th century it was built as a field stone building on a hill. In 1740, during the great town fire, the church burned down and was gradually rebuilt in the following years: the nave in 1758, the wooden galleries in 1767 and 1779, and the tower in 1786. During the reconstruction, the tower received its square turret with a slate lantern. The pews probably also come from this period. The last major renovation of the church took place in 1961/62.
The sanctuary was created in its current design, with the altar, the pulpit and the baptismal font in particular being made of bricks. Two steel bells that were cast in 1926 hang in the tower today as a replacement for three bronze bells that were drafted in World War I for armaments.
The organ was built in 1877 by the Szczecin master organ builder Grüneberg. In 1997 it was restored and the front pipes, which had been missing for a long time, were replaced.

The church is open daily throughout the year and, along with the city wall surrounding the town center, is considered a landmark of the town. The "Building Monument Church in Fürstenwerder e. V." association, founded in 1994, tirelessly works to preserve and restore the church.
