History

A parish church dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Strahov. It was given to Strahov in the mid-12th century by Vladislav II. It remained in the abbey's possession until the early 15th century; Strahov regained possession of it in the 17th century.

The medieval church burned down in 1698. A new church was built on the site, and in turn demolished in 1897. The current church was built on its footprint.
