Due to neglect, the four small towers were demolished in the late 1950s. In 1974, the roof was repaired, and the church was intended for "cultural and educational" purposes. The Hussite Church returned administration to the Nové Bor Municipal National Committee in 1976, which used it for storage. A reconstruction project was planned for 1982-1988. On February 20, 1982, three boys started a fire inside, which spread to stored materials and destroyed the church, leaving only the outer walls.
