The parish was established in 1650. The town and parish are located in the Spisz region, which was the subject of a dispute between the Kraków and Esztergom (Hungarian) bishoprics in the 13th and 14th centuries. Ultimately, the disputed area was placed under the jurisdiction of the Esztergom archdiocese, and from 1776, under the newly established Diocese of Spisz. In 1920, a part of Spisz was incorporated into Poland (forming Polish Spisz), including 9 parishes, which, according to the papal bull Vixdum Poloniae unitas issued by Pope Pius XI, were placed under the jurisdiction of the Kraków archdiocese.
