It is one of the oldest wooden churches in southern Greater Poland.
The current church dates back to 1755 and was founded by Fabian Moszyński, although the history of the parish itself may date back to the 14th century. The founders of the church include the Bereźnicki family, whose 19th-century monument is located near the church. Two years after its construction, the interior was equipped thanks to a grant from Michał Niwski.
The church is oriented, single-nave, built on a narrower square plan a three-sided chancel. The sacristy is adjacent to the presbytery on the north side. From the west, there is a square tower with a porch on the ground floor, and from the south, a four-sided porch.
The whole is dominated by a two-story tower covered with a tented roof and an octagonal turret illuminated by a lantern topped with a cupola. On the top illuminated cross. All roof areas of the nave, chancel, sacristy, porch, tower and the bell tower are covered with shingles. In the first half of the 20th century, the roof was covered with zinc sheets, and the interior was covered with pine boards in the Zakopane style. In 1984 and 1993 it was restored, and in 1999 the interwar sheet metal was removed from the roof and spruce shingles were put in its place.
