The Church of the Holy Spirit takes its name from the Order of the Holy Spirit, responsible for the hospital formerly attached to the Church. The church was first mentioned in the 13th century as the chapel of a hospital, which was replaced by a church in 1496. This slowly fell into disrepair with the Reformation and was only partially reused for the church from 1604 onwards. From 1726 to 1729, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style.
