According to tradition the first chapel of Our Lady was built here in 1260 by the knight Malovec. As early as in the 15-16th centuries a little sanctuary with a tower and bells was situated on the premises. This little church provided a place for the contemporarily adored statuette of Our Lady, which from 1348 had been worshipped by Arnošt of Pardubice, the first Prague Archbishop, in his home chapel in Příbram. The little sanctuary at Svatá Hora was originally watched over by recluses, the most famous of which was Jan Procházka from Nymburk who was healed from his blindness here in June 1632. In 1647 Svatá Hora was entrusted to the Jesuits. This order stayed here for 126 years - till 1773. During that period the present sanctuary was built in 1673 consecrated in honour of the Assumption of Our Lady. The main cathedral is situated in a little courtyard encompassed by open cloisters with four chapels in each corner that are dedicated to the main mysteries from the life of Our Lady. In the years 1773-1861 the church was administered by priests from the Prague Archbishopric.

In 1861 Prague Archbishop Cardinal Bedřich Josef Schwarzenberg summoned priests from the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists) to Svatá Hora. These stayed here till 1950, when they were violently removed during the suppression of monasteries in this country. After 40 years, on March 1st, 1990, they returned to Svatá Hora by a decree of Cardinal František Tomášek.
