Although the oldest documents referring to the parish church in the village date from 1447, the present church dates from the end of the 15th century. At the time when the Reformation reached these areas, the church was taken over by Evangelicals who used it in the years 1570-1629. The temple was rebuilt several times. In 1905, a brick porch was added to the church on the west side, not very fortunately. Strongly damaged during the war in 1945, the building was then rebuilt in the mid-1950s.

Oriented body of the church of st. Michael the Archangel, without a tower, with a carcass structure, it is erected on a brick and stone foundation, covered from the outside with a shingled eaves. The plan of the nave is similar to a square, while the chancel, narrower than it, is closed with a straight wall. A porch adjoins it from the north. In the 18th century, a chapel was added to the nave from the south. The gable roof is shingled, as are the walls of the building. The roof is topped with a turret. The original pyramidal helmet was replaced in 1960 with a bulbous one. On the northern side of the church, low Saturdays, which have been built up, have been preserved. A separate roof covers the chapel, crowned with an onion-shaped dome. There used to be a separate belfry at the church. Inside the temple, with mostly baroque furnishings, the main altar with the image of Archangel Michael, the patron saint of the church, deserves attention. In the side ones there are paintings of the Crucifixion and St. Magdalene and St. John the Evangelist.
