St. Joseph's Church was built in the years 1905-1909 according to a design by Jan Sas-Zubrzycki. It replaces a church built in 1832, which was in a poor state of repair at the end of the 19th century. The church has a Gothic Revival style inspired by the Vistula Gothic, which is considered to be the manifestation of a true national architectural style of Poland.
