The parish was founded in 1650. The village and the parish lie in the area of the Spiš Zamagurze region, which was the subject of a dispute between the Bishopric of Cracow and the Bishopric of Ostříhom (Hungary) in the 13th and 14th centuries. Eventually, the disputed area was subordinated to the Ostrzyhom archdiocese, and from 1776 to the Spiš diocese, which was separated from it. In 1920, a part of Spisz was annexed to Poland (creating the Polish Spisz) with 9 parishes, which under Pope Pius XI's bull Vixdum Poloniae unitas was subordinated to the Archdiocese of Kraków.
