History

The Church was built in 1828 based on the R. Battigelli project from 1819. It was built in baroque building style.

In 1944, during World War II, it was demolished by the Ustashe damaging roof structure, vault, interior and church inventory. After the War, ruins remained standing. In 1970, the reconstruction of these valuable buildings began, but the roof, unfortunately, was never set up.

On 4 June 2017, Bishop of Upper Karlovac Gerasim visited the church. Also, the Bishop visited the church on 16 June 2019.
