The parish was probably established in the second half of the 13th century. Little is known about the first church. It was probably made of wood and was destroyed. In 1595, a new church, still standing today, was built by Jan Modzelewski of the Trzywdar coat of arms, the Łęczyca cup-bearer, who equipped it with all the equipment and devices. This church was dedicated to St. Stanislaus, bishop. It had three altars, and in them beautiful, new paintings (novae et elegantes in 1603). In 1843, Franciszek Grabski, the owner of the estate in Luszyn, financed the restoration of the temple.
It is a brick church, consisting of a rectangular nave, a pentagonally closed presbytery and a porch on the axis of the temple, above which rises a quadrangular tower with two bells. It is equipped with three architectural, two-storey altars with finials. The main altar dedicated to the patron of the church is polychromed in white, with gilding. It houses a sculpture of the Crucified Christ, figures of Saints Stanislaus and Adalbert, and on the second floor a painting depicting the martyrdom of St. Stanislaus. The side altars are polychromed in ivory, with gilding. On the right is a painting of the Listening Mother of God from the 17th century; on the latch a photocopy of this painting, decorated with silver dresses, originally belonging to the original. On the second floor is a painting depicting St. Catherine. The left altar is dedicated to St. Valentine. On the second floor is a painting of St. Roch. In the presbytery there are two stalls from 1595 and a tombstone of the founder of the church and his wife.
Worthy of attention are the organs from the 18th/19th centuries, as well as the white polychromed wooden pulpit and the stone baptismal font built into the wall of the church, decorated with the coats of arms of families associated with the Modzelewskis.
