The Baroque church with a valuable interior was started to be built in 1758 by Mikuláš Ambro, after whose death it was completed in 1760 by his son Jozef Ambro. The secular patrons of the church were Jozef Ambro and his wife Kristina, born Majténa (Motešická). Until recently, their painted coats of arms were on the facade of the church choir.

The church was consecrated to St. Peter and Paul on September 29, 1760. The old wooden statues were moved from the old church and are still there today. The pulpit and the side altar dedicated to John the Baptist were also moved, but they were not preserved. From the interior of the church, the baroque altar, baptistery, rococo candlesticks from the second half of the 18th century deserve attention. The statues and paintings in the church have great artistic value and are listed among the national cultural monuments of the Slovak Republic. In front of the church, its donors, their relatives and related families are buried in the crypts.
