This sixteenth-century church stands atop a hill, featuring traditional wooden construction techniques with a tall tower and shingled roof arrangement.
The church was constructed in 1522 by Krzysztof Biberstein-Starowiejski, replacing an earlier structure mentioned in historical records from 1325.
The interior contains Renaissance and Baroque painted decorations, including geometric patterns, foliate motifs, and representations of religious figures.
