Napríklad roku 1716 nechal Jirí Slepcanský-Pohronec provést prestavbu kostelu kvuli jeho velmi špatnému stavu. Roku 1847 byla ke kostelu pristavena postranní vež, jenž nahradila malou vežicku pred hlavním vchodem. Soucástí kostela je gotická kaple Panny Marie s puvodní gotickou klenbou z roku 1380, jenž má svuj samostatný vchod. Podle ústní tradice byl kostel vypálen v tricetileté válce Švédy.
