The foundation walls of the second building were found in the “church fields”. The third building was first mentioned in 1697 and was dedicated to St. Mark . This was about a kilometer east of the village. The current church was built as a late baroque building between 1760 and 1765. A restoration took place between 1974 and 1976.
