In 1714, the Baroque "Hospitalkirche" (“Hospital Church”) was consecrated. Town fires were nothing unusual in those days, and on 10 December 1806 it once again came to pass and among the buildings lost were, again, the town hall, the parish building and the school as well as the mediaeval "St. Johanniskirche" (church), the brewing and malting house, 182 houses and 16 barns. The town sprang back from this, but only three years later, there was yet another fire, this one started by a lightning strike. Of the 104 houses that were destroyed, 26 were ones that had already been rebuilt after burning down in the last fire. On 29 October 1826 the new church, "Haupt- und Stadtkirche St. Johannis", was consecrated. There were later further fires in Lößnitz, whereby the Baroque "Hospitalkirche" was destroyed, too.
