The parish was founded in 1417; a wooden church originally stood at the site of today's parish church.

During the Reformation in the second half of the 16th century, the landlord Paweł Żółkiewski converted to Calvinism . At the end of his life , however , he converted back to Catholicism and founded a new wooden church with his sons.

The third wooden church, which survived until around 1770, was built by Aleksander Żółkiewski.

The current church was built by Tomasz Stamierowski between 1769 and 1770.

The village lord , Tomasz Stamierowski, commissioned the building on the occasion of his marriage. Designed in the late Baroque style, it was completed in 1770 and consecrated in 1781.
