This parish church was built in the first half of the 17th century on the site of the original wooden church. It was founded by the Głuski family, the owners of Wilków from the 16th to the mid-18th century. The building partially burnt down in 1723 and was rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century and in the early 19th century. It acquired its present look after restoration work carried out in the second half of the 19th century. The church has typical features of the Lublin Renaissance – one nave, no towers, and a chancel narrower than the nave and terminated in an apse. The chapel adjoining the northern side of the nave was founded in 1723 by the Polanowski family.The interior of the church has stucco decorations typical of the Lublin Renaissance. Paintings of the Mother of God and St. Ursula hang at the high altar next to an 18th-century sculpture of Jesus on the cross. The side altars have paintings depicting transfiguration of Christ and St. Florian – the patron saint of the church. In 1921 a bell tower designed by Karol Siciński was erected next to the church. Inside there are folk art sculptures from the 18th century.
