The first church was built by the Cistercians, who owned the village from 1390. Its exact construction date is unknown, but it is known that it initially had parish status and was later incorporated into the Rokitno parish. The Cistercians built another church in 1661 (consecrated in 1669), after they took over the Rokitno parish. In 1688, the church and village buildings were destroyed by fire. Thanks to the efforts of the Cistercian abbot of the Bledzew monastery, Jan Białobłocki, and contributions from the village residents, the church was rebuilt in 1692-1693.
