According to art historians, the origins of the present church can be traced back to around 1487. In the years 1498 - 1499, the inhabitants of Księży Las built a church. st. Michael the Archangel, it is not known, however, whether an independent parish priest was foreseen for this church, as indicated by the census from 1447.

In 2015, the wooden structure of the southern façade of the church was renovated, as part of which it was necessary to completely reconstruct the side chapel from the 18th century.
