The church was built around 1567 as a branch church of the Frydman parish. It was restored and fitted out in the first half of the 17th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, a brick church was erected next door, and the wooden church began to fall into disrepair. In 1924, the vestry and sloping–walled tower, flanked at the bottom by an apron with an overhanging shingled chamber, were demolished. In 1938, the remaining part of the building was protected from demolition and destruction. The church was raised and placed on a stone foundation, and the wall structure was reinforced. Further work was carried out between 1953 and 1956, and between 1972 and 1976. Between 2010 and 2012, the temple and polychromes underwent conservation.

The church is of larch log construction, covered by a multi–pitched shingle roof. The walls of the church are also covered with shingles. The portal leading to the former sacristy, with a lintel cut into a donkey's back, has survived. The walls, ceiling, and music choir are decorated with valuable late-Baroque polychromes from 1647. The layout was designed by parish priest Jan Ratułowski and painted by an unknown artist. These include scenes from the lives of Christ, Our Lady, and the saints. Extremely interesting is the painting on the ceiling depicting the Assumption against the backdrop of the Pieniny Mountains and the Dunajec River valley, with castles in Czorsztyn and Niedzica and the Belianske Tatra Mountains. In contrast, the peaks of the Tatras are in the background of the Last Judgement. This is the oldest surviving panorama of the Tatras and the first panorama of the Tatras from the north, as seen from the hill above the Tributary Church featuring the peaks of Płaczliwa Skała, Hawrań, and Lodowy Szczyt. The Rococo pulpit from 1787 and the altar mensa with the wooden tabernacle, Baroque candlesticks, a baptismal font and several procession floats remain from the furnishings. Most of the furnishings, including fragments of a 1530 triptych and Baroque altars, were moved to the new church.
