The Church serves as an occasional exhibition room and concert hall.

The Anglican Church is a later work of the architect William Burges from London. In 1879, the builder Friedrich Zickler built the church according to the Burges's layout. The building was initiated by an English lady - Anna Scott of Rodono - in honor of her husband who had died in Mariánské Láznì in 1867, thus she donated 12.000 gold coins for this purpose.

The church was made of red hard-burnt bricks without stucco in an English Roman-Gothic rural style. Only part of the original indoor equipment has been preserved - only the pulpit and a marble memorial plaque from 1911 commemorating the English king Edward VII who visited Mariánské Lázne many times. A section of the permanent exhibition is dedicated to him.

The first written mention of Sokolov dates back to 1279. The original circular stronghold was progressively rebuilt as a Gothic-Renaissance redoubt with an almost square ground-plan and corner towers. In 1622 the castle was acquired by the Nostitz family, which held Sokolov until 1945. In 1663 the castle was reconstructed in Baroque style and in 1805 again in Classicist style. The museum focuses on mining and associated industries. The exhibition presents the countryside, general history and the history of ore and coal mining. You can also see minerals from the region, specimens of flora and fauna, the development of crafts from earliest times to the present day, porcelain, lace, musical instruments and the like. The museum also has extensive exhibition halls for short-term exhibitions.
