The building was erected as an Orthodox garrison church in Skierniewice, then part of the Kingdom of Poland within the Russian Empire; according to Polish Wikipedia, the church of the Tobolsk Infantry Regiment was begun in 1899 and consecrated in 1903 (the monument register dates the building to the mid-19th century). In the 1930s, on the initiative of the military chaplain Andrzej Kamiński, it was rebuilt into a Roman Catholic garrison church, with a southern section — today's main nave — added. It is entered in the monument register of Łódź Voivodeship (No. 861 of 30 January 1992) as an Orthodox church, now the Garrison Church of the Assumption.
Здание построено как православная гарнизонная церковь в Скерневице, входившем тогда в Царство Польское в составе Российской империи; по данным польской Википедии, храм Тобольского пехотного полка заложен в 1899 году и освящён в 1903 году (реестр памятников датирует здание серединой XIX века). В 1930-х годах по инициативе военного капеллана Анджея Каминьского церковь перестроили в римско-католический гарнизонный костёл, пристроив южную часть — нынешний главный неф. Объект внесён в реестр памятников Лодзинского воеводства (№ 861 от 30 января 1992 года) как церковь, ныне гарнизонный костёл Успения Девы Марии.
