The first church in the city, built of wood, stood near Grobiņa Castle in 1560. Due to its poor condition, it was demolished, and in 1596 a new wooden church was built across from the Grobiņa medieval castle with bastions. Unfortunately, during the Swedish invasion in 1659, the church either burned down or was deliberately set on fire. The fire destroyed the entire interior, including the ornate altar. During Duke Jacob's time, around 1660, when the Duke lived in the Grobiņa medieval castle with bastions, the construction of a new brick church began. The church was consecrated in 1664 and underwent a further restoration in 1892.

Today, the church is proud of its extraordinary brightness and its restored, magnificent altar.
