Due to neglect, the church's four small towers were demolished in the late 1950s. The roof was repaired in 1974, and the building was intended for cultural purposes. The Hussite Church returned administration to the Nový Bor Municipal National Committee in 1976, which used it as storage. A renovation was planned for 1982-1988. On February 20, 1982, around 3 PM, three boys started a fire inside. Around 4 PM, after adding a can of paint to the fire, it spread to stored materials. The boys escaped, but the fire consumed the church, leaving mostly the outer walls standing.
