It was erected thanks to the foundation of Kajetan Potocki, Sandomierz canon and parish priest of Dąbrowa, and the parishioners themselves. The date of the start of construction is assumed to be 1771. The church, which has survived to the present day, was the third-ranked parish church.

It is a Baroque, wooden, timber-framed church with a pair of transept-like chapels and a chancel closed trilaterally with three doors. The vestry and treasury are adjacent to the chancel to the north and south.  To the west, across the width of the nave, is a newer porch from the second half of the 19th century, with low porches on the sides of the side aisles. The chancel and nave are covered with a gable roof with a common ridge, covered with sheet metal, with a polygonal Baroque turret with a lantern, and the side aisles are covered with pent roofs.

The main nave has pillar arcades and is open to side aisles. A rood beam is profiled with an 18th-century Baroque crucifix on it.  Figural and ornamental polychrome is from the second half of the 19th century and is in the late Baroque tradition. The chancel vault features a scene of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with figures of saints on the walls: St John the Baptist, St Michael the Archangel and St Peter and St Paul. The ceiling of the nave depicts scenes of Christmas and the Transfiguration, and the walls of the side aisles feature figures of Polish saints Stanislaus, Kinga, Stanisław Kostka, Jacek Odrowąż and Casimir. St Cecilia is painted on the choir wall, while the arms of the transept feature the Resurrection of the Lord and Christ with the disciples at Emmaus.

The altars are in a Rococo style. The main one is from the late 18th century. It has a picture of Our Lady and Child in metal dresses and a picture of St Joseph in the finial. Four side altars, in one of them a late Baroque crucifix, in the others sculptures of the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of the Virgin Mary and a painting of St Adalbert.  The pulpit with sculptures of evangelists on the sill and the confessionals are also Rococo. The 11-voice organ is also Rococo, with the interior wholly replaced by Bronisław Markiewicz of Tarnów in 1900. 

The bell tower is brick, in the shape of a triple arcade. It is free-standing and three bells hang from it: Joseph, Mary and Francis from 1974, made at the Felczyński Bell Foundry in Przemyśl.

A wooden fence around the perimeter is joined by brick pillars, which on the inside house the Stations of the Passion, a brick gate, and an openwork four-pillar bell tower.

The church is one of several in the Tarnów region to have been included on the Wooden Architecture Route and is a major tourist attraction in this part of Małopolska.
