Access to the church is through the main entrance beneath the tower, and visitors can view the exterior anytime and often enter the interior during prayer times. The building sits in a quiet section of the Rozwadów district with nearby streets and neighboring structures making it simple to locate.
The church was designed using plans adapted from a nearby church in Sękowa, showing how local communities shared architectural ideas and supported one another. Detailed parish records dating back to 1785 document generations of community members who used this sacred space.
