From a half-timbered building to a masonry church

In 1976 the old structure was pulled down, and on its foundations the present masonry church was built, consecrated on 13 December of the same year by Bishop Jerzy Stroba.

Architecture and furnishings

The church was built on a rectangular plan, is plastered on the outside, and has a gable roof covered with ceramic tiles. In the south wall is a rectangular portal, and the windows of the nave are rectangular. The interior is covered by a wooden, beamed ceiling. The original furnishings have not survived, and the altar and font are modern.

The oldest part is the wooden tower on the west side, from the 18th century, two-storey, boarded, with an octagonal spire covered with slate. The tower is entered in the heritage register. The parish Church of St Catherine in Trzechel lies less than 4 km away.
