It was originally a Gothic temple which in the mid-16th century served as a Calvinist church. When it became a Roman Catholic church in 1654, it was rebuilt in the Lublin Renaissance style. The added chancel ending in a semicircular apse was decorated with a console frieze and had a vault covered with stucco ornaments. The church tower was erected at the end of the 17th century. In 1822 the church burnt down in a fire and was rebuilt in the years 1855–1857. The focal point of the Baroque interior of the church is the high altar with a painting of Our Lady of Częstochowa, which can be covered behind a sliding panel depicting the conversion of St. Paul, and statues of St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr, St. Adalbert, St. Florian and St. Theodore. Four side altars have paintings of the Mother of God, St. Joseph and St. Anthony and the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the fifth, neoclassical side altar hangs a painting of crucified Christ from the mid-19th century. The church treasury is located above the vestry where historical chasubles and liturgical vessels from the 16th and 17th century are kept. The church complex includes a 17th-century bell tower, 19th-century presbytery and a church organist’s house from the 1920s.
