The church was built in the mid-18th century.

The Church of St. Lawrence and St. Sigismund was founded in the twelfth century. In 1586, a wooden church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary was built on the so-called Krasna Góra - the truncated cone-shaped moraine hill of Lubasz. Like so many wooden buildings of that time, this too burned down. And the subsequent building was not to last either, falling victim to a landslide in 1750 and sinking into the ground of Krasna Góra. Reconstruction began in the same year and the impressive parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary still stands today. The late Baroque style building was completed in 1761 and its homogeneous Rococo furnishings (including six altars, pulpit and baptismal font) have been preserved to this day. The neo-Gothic bell tower followed in 1856. The interior of the church is of particular importance, however. The sanctuary of the Queen of Families. A 16th century painting from Rome, ceremoniously crowned in 2000 with crowns consecrated by Pope John Paul II, depicting Mary with the baby Jesus and which has become the destination of numerous pilgrimages by believers from all over Poland. The model for the miraculous painting, painted with oil paints on wooden boards, is none other than "Salus populi Romani" - the most historically significant icon of the Mother of God of Rome, which has been in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore for well over 1,000 years.
