The city is in County Leszno, about 10 km south-east of Leszno.
The building, erected in 1746-1751, was designed by Karl Martin Frantz and funded by Aleksander Józef Sułkowski. Krystian Grünwald made the sculptures and decorative capitals and Francesco Arcularis painted the frescoes on the vaults.
The church was erected on a rectangular plan. It was a wide nave and a rather narrow presbytery with a sacristy and a chapel on the sides and boxes opening on to the presbytery upstairs. A tower with an 18th-century rococo cupola is embedded into the façade of the temple. The interior is covered with sail vaults and embellished with stucco decoration in the style of Louis XVI. This was made in 1785-1786 to a design by Ignacy Graff.
Most of the furnishings, including the seven altars, pulpit and confessional, are late 18th-century baroque in the style of Louis XVI. The Gothic grey marble tombstone of Jan of Czernina, the Starosta of Wschowa and Castellan of Międzyrzecz who died in 1423, lies behind the high altar. One of the older monuments in the church, it has a bas relief figure of the deceased.
