The church is a baroque building in the center of Abertamy. It is the fourth church building in the history of the old mountain town. After the German-Bohemian population was expelled, the church was no longer maintained. Nevertheless, it was entered into the state register of cultural monuments on May 3, 1958.
In 1973 the roof of the nave and tower were renovated. Since no more maintenance work was carried out afterwards, the condition of the building structure deteriorated noticeably. As a result of the political upheavals in 1989, new opportunities arose for the preservation and renovation of the church building. In 1991, Abertham natives and supporters living in Germany after their expulsion and supporters founded the “Abertham Group” with the aim of renovating the church. Extensive work was carried out until the summer of 1995. The renovated church was re-consecrated on July 2, 1995. In a second construction phase from May to September 2003, the roof of the church and tower were renewed.
