The present-day parish St. Nicholas Church was erected in the years 1610-1620 in the place, where the former, wooden temple used to stand. The initiator of the construction works was the priest Nicholas Kiślicki – the dean of the Chapter of Collegiate Church in Zamość. After the fires in the years 1668-1754 the building was rebuilt. It obtained its present architectural shape after the general refurbishment at the end of the 19th century. The building is a hall church with a three-story frontal tower with a baroque cupola and a east-facing presbytery narrower than the aisle. In the niche of the presbytery there is a stone slab contains the foundation act and the cartouche containing the coat of arms of the Zamoyski family. The vault is covered by the sumptuously embellished stucco, typical of Lublin Renaissance and similar to the ornaments in the church collegiate in Zamość. Next to the church there is a belfry and the tomb-chapel dating back to the period in which the church was built and a wayside shrine of Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, dating back to the 18th century. There is also a baroque gate dating back to the 18th century, which opens into the church area.
