The church was built in the early 12th century and extended in the 17th century. The Baroque altar was crafted by Christian Precht [de] in 1674–1677, and the organ was built in 1668–1675 by Berendt Hus and his nephew, the famous Arp Schnitger; the latter expanded the organ in 1688. Vincent Lübeck served as organist of St. Cosmae between 1675 and 1702.
