Church before reconstruction

The church was founded in 1216 and is associated with Bolesław V the Chaste. [2] During the Congress Poland period, it was used as a military prison. [2] It was still being used for secular purposes in the 1970s, serving then as a regional museum of archeology. [3]

The church was restored in the 1980s. By 2020, it was also managing a nearby cemetery. In that same year, it received grant money for conservation work. [4]
