The church was designed by Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik in the 1920s and built from 1937-39. Since the entire area is swampy, the church had to be built on pillars. The resourceful architect used concrete sewer pipes that were filled with in-situ concrete. For weight reasons, the bell tower was separated from the building and vault-like recesses were added. In 2021 the church was listed as a significant architectural building on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The church was built between 1937 - 1939 following the plans of Plečnik and stands near Črna vas on Ljubljana marsh.
