    The church in its present form was built in 1929 as an evangelical temple. Among the churches of the Walecki region, it stands out with its original form, referring in its style to modernist elements. The church building was designed on the plan of two rectangles connected by the narrower sides. The first, larger rectangle is occupied by the nave, the second and smaller by the presbytery and sacristy. Very interesting is the passage of the nave in the presbytery, which has a vault that is an extension of the main body vault, but the side walls are on the extension of the sacristy walls. This is due to the narrowing of the rear gable wall symmetrically on both sides and the addition of a sacristy. The front wall houses the main entrance with two-leaf wooden doors decorated symmetrically in two axes arranged in herringbone boards. The rectangular transom draws attention with a stained glass window with a fancy pattern. The transom is topped with a strip of profiled bricks arranged transversely to the others. In the upper part of the gable wall there are tall, rectangular windows, the same windows are located in the side walls of the presbytery. The side walls of the main body are reinforced with simple buttresses running into three fields, in which windows of a shape similar to a square are placed. The same windows are found in the side walls of the sacristy.

    The main nave is covered with a convex-concave roof, crowned in the front part with a low tower on a square plan, boarded, with a tent roof with a cross on it. The annex housing the sacristy has a three-slope roof. An additional decorative element is the color contrast between the red brick walls and the green roofing.
