The late Gothic church, built on the site of the Altenburg castle chapel (before 1250), was first mentioned in 1391. It was consecrated in 1405. The first structural changes were made in 1467, when the church received a new choir and the southern pointed arch portal, which is now bricked up. Maria Altenburg was renovated in Baroque style in 1711 and decorated with rich stucco and fresco paintings. The church was restored in 1975 and 1993/1994.
