The parish in Strożyska was probably founded in the 12th century. It is recorded that in 1378, the owner of these lands, a dignitary of Casimir the Great, founded a small Gothic church with a huge defensive tower 1378. This tower was used as a watchtower. Despite historic turmoil, the church did not suffer any damage. Only the tower had to be partly dismantled, as cracks appeared in its construction. Local inhabitants extended the church in 1895-1896 in Neo-Gothic style, adding two new chapels and the main nave with a chancel. It was not until World War II that serious damage was done The restored church was reconsecrated in 1946.
