This parish church was built in the years 1608–1611 through the efforts of Agnieszka Jastkowska, the prioress of the Birgittine convent in Lublin, and the senior convent chaplain, Priest Andrzej Bietkiewicz. Situated on the site of an old wooden chapel, this single-nave building made of brick and stone was designed in the Lublin Renaissance style by Jan Wolff. The barrel vault with lunettes was decorated with stucco work. The most precious elements of the interior include 17th-century paintings of St. Lawrence and St. Agnes, a pulpit and a font from the mid-18th century, and a 1611 consecration plaque with the Biberstein coat of arms of Krzysztof Kazimierski, the bishop of Kiev. In the years 1913–1915 the church was extended according to a design by Władysław Siennicki. The façade was altered by adding a two-columned portico. The preserved polychrome was painted in 1928 by the artist Czesław Miklasiński.
