The first documented information about the parish in Kurów comes from the mid-15th century. The church was founded by the Lublin castellan Piotr Kurowski at the turn of the 17th century. Originally a Calvinist church, it became a Roman Catholic temple in the second half of the 17th century. The church was developed in successive stages. The main nave was erected in the 17th century, whereas the side aisles were built in the 18th century. As a result, the church has a plan of a basilica with Lublin Renaissance features such as plastered walls, a slender elongated shape, and a three-storey façade divided with pilasters and cornices and crowned with pinnacles. The interior of the church boasts rich stucco decorations and a Renaissance tomb of Stanisław Zbąski, presumably sculpted by Santi Gucci, dating from the second half of the 16th century. The church complex includes a presbytery from the second half of the 18th century and a belfry from the turn of the 18th century.
