It is one of the oldest monuments in the region. The church has one nave with a presbytery closed on its side. Remains of Gothic wall paintings have been preserved in it.

The church and tower were built at the beginning of the 13th century. From the original assumption, only the tower survived in its original condition. It is a brick and stone building on a square plan. It has small windows and an entrance on the first floor. It proves her defensive character. Currently, it is covered with a pyramidal finial, and in its upper part there is a clock.

The church is a Gothic building built after the fire of the early 15th century. It consists of an elongated nave and a presbytery. It is covered with a rib vault and in the network presbytery. As a result of repeated fires, as well as a change in the purpose of the building, among others, for the theater and warehouse, its equipment has not survived.
