The church was built in the Early-Gothic architectural style, first mentioned in 1282, in 1449 burned down by a fire and subsequently rebuilt. The expansion work on the church in the fifteenth and sixteenth-century was blighted by the Thirty Years' War and as such was burned down again. Prior to 1671, the church was renovated by Bishop of Wrocław, Sebastian von Rostock.[2]
The church began to be Re-Gothicised in 1893.
