The construction of the old parish church was finished in 1897, soon after the parish was founded (1892). It was a spacious and beautiful building for its time. However, since it was built on an unstable foundation, it soon began to show cracks. Immediately after the end of World War I, the parishioners began to think about building a new church. This construction lasted from 1934 to January 19, 1969, the day of its inauguration.
