Late Gothic three-nave church was built in 1458-1470 gg. I suffered during the so-called Eighty Years' War, but was rebuilt in 1588 In 1818, on the roof of the church tower was installed beacon. In 1831, the church itself was burned, but the fire did not touch the tower. Six-story, brick, height of 52. 3 m. At the top is mounted cast-iron construction in red, with a lens optikoy. Eta in its architecture the tower is very similar to the Belfry in Dunkirk / Beffroi de Dunkerque and the bell tower of the church of St. Mary in Gdansk.
