This church was built as the central building of a catholic complex that also included a convent, schools and houses. Architect Kropholler designed several similar complexes. This Mariakerk was the first building completed for this complex.
It's a one-aisled church with a wide nave, a low and undeep choir, a very narrow transept and a square crossing-tower. It's a typical example of Kopholler's style, with its sparsely decorated walls, narrow windows, heavy buttresses and a sparse use of natural stone.
The church was closed in 2001 and has fallen into decay since.
