The Protestant church of St. Maria in vinea, in early Gothic style, was the parish church of the old town of Warburg until 1283. The bishop of Paderborn, Otto von Rietberg, then ordered that the church be handed over to the Dominican order. St. Mary in Vinea remained the church of the Dominican monastery until its secularisation in 1803. Since 1824 it has been the church of the Protestant community. Next to the church is the Marianum Gymnasium in the former Dominican monastery.

The outstanding figure of the foundation of the congregation is the lay Apostle Anton Jungmann (*1777 in Prague, + 1860 in Langensalza), who came to Langensalza in 1821 and collected the Catholics.

Between 1647 and 1650, the church was rebuilt and consecrated on 8 October 1654. The next town fire took place on 1 May 1753. The present church was built after 1757 in the late Baroque style by the master mason Johann Philip Kober according to the plans of the scribe Ludwig August Hoffmann. The tower was completed in 1769 and the church received a bell in 1770.

Subsequent interventions, mainly in the late Baroque style, modified the original appearance of the cathedral, in the Gothic-Renaissance style.
