The church was built in the 14th century, thoroughly rebuilt in 1685-1686. A brick temple, with a single nave, with a wooden tower added in 1747, covered with slate and topped with a soaring dome, and a southern chapel from the 19th century. Above the entrance to the porch there is the coat of arms of Gdańsk on a shield surrounded by a wreath of leaves. The church has rich, baroque interior furnishings: an altar, a pulpit and an organ. What attracts attention is the unusual benches with kneelers and backrests, called choir stalls, in which wealthy settlers from the Netherlands, the so-called neighbors, sat during services. On the back of the benches there are paintings depicting the 12 apostles and Jesus. In each painting, above the head of the figure of the saint, there is a coat of arms painted in gold paint, i.e. the ownership mark of the farm, and above it the date and name of the founder. The same markings can be found on the decorative doorframes of thirteen women's benches on the opposite side of the nave, above which portraits of biblical women are painted. The church is surrounded by a brick wall, which is a remnant of the cemetery.
