The masonry church in the Byzantine style was built in 1889–1890 for the Orthodox parish in a village then part of the Kingdom of Poland within the Russian Empire; according to Polish Wikipedia it was designed by Viktor Sychugov and paid for by the state. In 1915 the church was left empty after the residents were evacuated; in 1919 the building was consecrated as a Roman Catholic church and the Catholic parish was re-established.

Каменная церковь в византийском стиле построена в 1889–1890 годах для православного прихода в селе, входившем тогда в Царство Польское в составе Российской империи; по данным польской Википедии, проект составил Виктор Сычугов, а строительство оплатила казна.
