Erected in 1445 by the Archbishop of Gniezno, Wincenty Kot.
This church was dedicated to St. Adalbert the bishop and St. Barbara the virgin and martyr. In 1762, the Archdeacon of Łowicz, Fr. Józef Marcinkowski, who visited the parish, noted that there were already six side altars in the church. It still existed in 1845, which is confirmed by the testimony of Fr. Klonowski in the "Religious and Moral Memoir": Fr. Wincenty Kot, Archbishop of Gniezno, erected a wooden church, which has remained in the village of Kompinie to this day. Unfortunately, this church burned down on August 16, 1889.
Today's parish church of St. Adalbert the bishop and St. Barbara the virgin and martyr was built from contributions from parishioners in the years 1897-1900 according to the design of the architect Konstanty Wojciechowski. It was consecrated on September 3, 1901 by the Metropolitan Archbishop of Warsaw, Wincenty Chościak-Popiel. In 1939, during the fighting on Bzura, the church was almost completely burned down by the Germans. In 1943, it was rebuilt and embellished with polychrome by Stanisław Bobiński. The two façade, slender towers were rebuilt in 1946, and a year later new bells were installed.
