Puvodne rane gotický (ci podle nekterých pramenu dokonce románský) kostel ze 13. století byl renesancne prestaven za Petra Boubínského, pána na Strele kolem roku 1587. Prestavbu vedl stavitel Thomassio Rossi di Mendrisio, zv. Vlach. Puvodní vežicka byla nahrazena mohutnou veží zakoncenou tremi patry slepých arkád s postavami starozákonních proroku. O 260 let pozdeji, v roce 1847, byla vež ješte zvýšena a zakoncena jehlanovitou strechou se zkosenými nárožími. Kostel patrí mezi nejzajímavejší stavby románské renesance v Cechách.
