The first Church was built in the X century. Some parts of the tower and West facade have been preserved since their creation in 1287. The earthquake of 1356 was not spared in this Church, because at that time was destroyed most of the town, and Martinskirche almost completely rebuilt, but the Foundation remained the same. Then it was attached the bell tower with four bells. Polygon choir, and North and South facades date back to the second half of the 14th century. There was preaching of Johann Ecolampadius, the reformer of Basel. During the reformation many of the paintings and frescoes were covered with plaster.
