St. Catherine's Church, first mentioned in 1217, was endowed with its late Gothic brick during a reconstruction in the 1380s. Restorations were carried out on the exterior in 1864-65 and on the interior in 1842 and 1911-12.

St. Catherine's Church was built in the early 13th century. In the second half of the 13th century, the church was transformed into a Gothic hall church as indicated by an indulgence of 1252. One of the towers burst into flames in 1815 after a thunderbolt. Between 1887 and 1890, the city construction officer Ludwig Winter restored the interior of the church. After the destruction of the church during the Second World War, restoration began in 1946. The helmets of the spire and the interior were renewed from 1957 to 1958.

The construction of the new church building began at the beginning of the 15th century.

The Church of St Catherine of Alexandria is the most famous Baroque church in Croatia. It was built between 1620 and 1632 on the site of a small 14th-century Dominican church. In the 17th century, the Jesuits, to whom the previous church had been given, completely rebuilt it. In addition to the church, they built a monastery (where the Dvori gallery Klovićevi is located today). After the abolition of the Jesuits in 1773, the St Catherine church was ceded to the parish of Saint-Marc in 1783 and became a university church in 1874.

The history of church and parish in Gerwen lies in a distant and almost untraceable past; it is almost certain that the parish of Gerwen has a history of more than a thousand years. An indication of this is the fact that the ancient parish church of Gerwen was dedicated to St. Clement, a pope who was martyred under Emperor Trajan about AD 100. This St. Clemens was highly regarded in our Low Countries. This is apparent from, among other things, the fact that Saint Willibrord was given the nickname Clemens when he was consecrated as a bishop in 695; and this name was spread more and more among the people by other Benedictines who came after St. Willebrord. Clement veneration reached a peak in these countries in the 8th century and it is partly for this reason that it is assumed that the parish of Gerwen was founded in the eighth century and that a parish church was already built in the former Gerwin's heim.
