The current brick temple was founded by priest Paweł Kosicki from Zakrzew, prelate of Łowicz. It was built in 1777, i.e. in the late Baroque style. It is not known who the actual builder of the temple is. The design of the building comes from Rome. The church was finished and decorated by priest Maciej Dąbkowski around 1824. The building was consecrated on October 17, 1824, the ceremony was led by bishop Daniel Ostrowski, suffragan of Łowicz. This event is commemorated by a plaque embedded in the wall of the temple, preserved to this day, with a Latin inscription (placed on the right side above the chapel in the presbytery).

The reservoir on the Skierniewka (Łupia) River is already visible on maps of Skierniewice from the 15th century. Initially, the reservoir was located near the village of Dęba, which was later incorporated into the city of Skierniewice. It was practically untouched by humans until the second half of the 20th century. It was not until the 1970s that its lower section was excavated near Zadębie Street and the Zadębie district. As part of the reservoir's renovation carried out in the years 1996-1999, the current reservoir bowl was shaped.
