The first documented mention of a church in the village dates back to 1346. In 1751, this was replaced by a new half-timbered church. It only stood for one year before being destroyed in the great town fire. The then owner of the Buchholz estate, August Wilhelm of Prussia, the younger brother of King Frederick II, immediately had a new, solid church built. The weather vane and a golden crown with the initials "AW" crowned the new sacred building. During the final battles of the Second World War in the Battle of Halbe, Märkisch Buchholz was badly destroyed. The church was completely burnt out; only the weather vane, which had been shot down, was saved. Reconstruction continued throughout the 1950s and 1960s. It was not until 1977 that a new organ was purchased. The church was painted yellow for the 700th anniversary of the town of Märkisch Buchholz in 2001.
