The first wooden church in Izvalta was built in 1625. In the 18th century, it was rebuilt and the bishop of Livonia Antons Ostrovskis consecrated it in honor of St. Michael Archangel.

The present masonry church was built in 1896. Paintings and other valuable liturgical items were transferred to this church, from which should be mentioned painting of Miraculous Virgin Mary of Tērbata. In 1941 church burned down as well as the valuable painting. During the church restoration a roof was laid, towers rebuilt, and new altars were set up. During church restoration, worships were held in a neighbor house, which burned down in 1944.
Later on, church ceilings were finished, new paintings were purchased, cement tile flooring installed and other construction works finished. Near the church, there is a cross with a memorial plaque, which, like the church, is a significant cultural monument.
