Initially, the function of the church was performed by the Chapel of Christ the King located in the former manor house. Christ the King chapel located in the former inn. The construction of a parish church began only after the Second World War, when the parish priest was Father Bernard Woltman. Construction was completed in 1953, and the temple was designed by architect Franciszek Morawski in a style similar to neo-Romanesque with an octagonal tower. The cornerstone comes from the cathedral in Poznan, which has the same patrons. It was consecrated on 28 June 1953 by Archbishop Walenty Dymek. The interior was designed by Joseph Pade. In the side altar there is a historic late Baroque painting of the Holy Family from about 1780, coming from the Bernardine church in Wschowa. The stained glass windows were made in 1952 by Stanislaw Powalisz. The crucifix in the porch was carved around 1900 by the folk artist W. Kubis. Near the entrance to the church there is a column with a sculpture of St. Lawrence from 1953. On the façade there is a plaque commemorating the parish priest Bernard Woltman - the builder of the temple. In September 2011, a memorial stone was placed at the column of St. Lawrence in memory of parish priest Jozef Dymala.
