The church gained its present shape in the second half of the 16th century. In 1563 the building was converted into an Arian church and it was not until 1610 that it became a Roman Catholic temple again. The church was rebuilt in the beginning of the 17th century in the style of the Lublin Renaissance, probably under instructions of the guild mason Jan Wolff. The new vault has stucco decorations forming a network of torus mouldings. The church has one nave and a narrower chancel terminated in a semicircular apse. There is a vestry with a vestibule next to the chancel and a tower with a church-porch on the western side of the nave. The Rococo interior design dates from the second half of the 18th century. At the wooden altar hangs an early 19th-century painting depicting the baptism of Jesus Christ. The side altars feature paintings of St. Joseph and Child Jesus (19th c.) and of the Virgin and Child (18th c.). The church complex includes a brick bell tower (19th c.) and a 1905 presbytery founded by Count Zamoyski.
