The church was built in 1911-1913 thanks to the efforts of Pastor Berthold Haarhausen, with financial support from railroad workers and local Lutherans. The building is covered with a high gable roof with truncated gables and a little bell. The interior is one nave, rectangular in plan with a separate chancel, where the pulpit altar was originally located. On the southern side there is a cross-shaped tower with a cupola covered with copper sheets. In the ground floor of the tower there is a sacristy and a side entrance. The building was used by Protestants till the end of World War I. After the Wielkopolska Uprising numerous Protestants came to the church. After the Wielkopolska Uprising a numerous Evangelical community left the village and a pastor Rutz from Ostrów Wielkopolski took pastoral care of the rest. After the Second World War, on 25 June 1951, the abandoned temple was taken over by Catholics and consecrated by priest canon Franciszek Jeliñski, together with giving it the name of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
