The Catholic parish was founded in these parts in 1632 year, at the same time the first wooden temple was built. The modern stone church that can be seen today was built at the beginning of the 20th century.

High two-tiered towers, a rectangular apse and sacristy were decorated with stepped pinnacles. Along the perimeter of the church there are buttresses, as well as many decorative niches and arched windows.
Above the main façade is a round stained-glass window.
The interior decoration is divided into three naves of the temple.
