St. Martin's Church can be found on the market square in the middle of the town of Meuselwitz. The wooden predecessor church, first mentioned in documents in the 14th century, was dedicated to St. Martin of Tours. In 1687, the landowner and patron Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff, who was later buried in the church, had the baroque St. Martin's Church built on the same site.
