The church was built around 1170. On the west side of the church is the rectangular tower with twelve sound openings. The church served as a pilgrimage church and was therefore given a side aisle around 1200. In 1629 the church was damaged during the Thirty Years' War. Remodeling took place after 1690, removing the apse and extending the church to the east.

Pretzien is a district of Schönebeck (Elbe) on the east side of the Elbe. St. Thomas (ded. Thomas Becket) was built around 1140 by the Premonstratensian canons of Leitzkau as a single-nave Romanesque hall with a transverse western tower. In 1151, Margrave Albrecht the Bear donated the town and church of Pretzien to the monastery of Our Lady in Magdeburg. Later the church was furnished in a classical style, in 1769 the west tower was renewed, in 1796 a half-timbered tower with a baroque hood was added. In the 1970s, murals were discovered inside the church which were created around 1220. Unfortunately, the church was locked.
