The church was built on the site of the previous building, which burned down in 1826 in front of the former Selva Gate, which formed a complex with the hospital and the town churchyard. The church, which has been empty for a long time, is to become a centre for contemporary art. The pilgrimage to St. Trinitatis, which was initiated in 1519, developed into the Kät, the largest folk festival in the Ore Mountains.
