Built on the site of an older church dating from the start of the 16th century, construction on the current building began in 1685 under the auspices of Kazimieras Žodkevičius. Featuring two distinctive towers completed at the end of the 19th century, the cross-shaped Late Baroque church hides a wealth of chapels, frescoes and other works of art accumulated over the centuries. Like the great majority of religious buildings in the country, the church was the victim of numerous regimes over the centuries, and was for a time a warehouse under tsarist rule but survived fairly intact through the years of Soviet occupation and even contains works of art dating from this period.
