The Romanesque church was built in the first half of the 12th century at the expense of Peter Vlast of Skszyn. Rebuilt in the first half of the XVII century; to this day belongs the baroque facade with a picture of the Blessed Virgin. In 1715 the church was handed over to the present, who ran a school for girls here. In 1715-1726 the church was rebuilt by the architect Katzper Bazhanka. The present church is a baroque building with preserved Gothic and Romanesque fragments (crypt under the presbytery); single-nave with a semicircular presbytery.
