Construction and interiors

The foundation stone was blessed on 25 July 1925 by Fr Paweł Kiebel. The brick church was built in 1926-1928 to a design by the Katowice architect Henryk Gambiec. The first Mass was celebrated on 26 February 1928, and the solemn consecration by Bishop Arkadiusz Lisiecki took place on 4 October 1928. The church has one nave, three altars and a small tower with a bell. An independent parish was established in 1957.

In 2009-2011 Marian Mendrek restored the polychromes on biblical themes, and from 2014 the interior was renovated to a design by Ryszard Kopiec.
