The first wooden church was most likely erected here in the 12^th century (the records of 1326 describe the church as “old”). The brick church was built ca. 1350 at the request of Jan Bodzanta, the Bishop of Kraków. Piotr Firley founded the contemporary church ca. 1537, using the former Gothic church (today’s Chapel of St. Ann). The interior design of the one-nave church with the separated chancel is dominated by the Baroque style with interesting altars founded by the Lubomirski family (the early 18^th century). The presbytery located next to the church dates from 1614.

The historical monument of greatest value in the church is the late Renaissance tombstone of Andrzej Firlej and his wife Barbaranée Szreńska located in the chancel. It was sculpted by Santi Gucci, the court artist of Kings Sigismund August and Stephen Bathory. The interior also features numerous Baroque epitaphs. Interestingly, when the church was transformed into an Evangelical church in the 16^th century, it had two entrances: the main one for the Protestants and the side entrance for the Catholics.
