Until the 14th century, in the place of today's Church of St. Catherine, there used to be a small wooden Gothic church. In 1753, construction of the stone church was finished under Pavel Kramář's supervision. The fire of the town in 1834 burnt the church down. All equipment of the interior was damaged, bells melted in the heat, organ from 1760 burnt down, and a wooden sculpture of Madonna from the first half of the 14th century of an unknown author was severely damaged. The Madonna was afterwards completely restored. In 1836, the church was built again in a Baroque style.
