It was built by order from Count Henrihs Platers-Zibergs near the bluff of the Daugava River in 1863.  It had been made in the Neo-Gothic style.  The length of the church is 17m, width – 10m and height – 7,8m (without bell-tower).  The ceiling is made in an arc shape from masonry and targeted.  Over the main entrance is a tetragonal tower, which is 13 axes in height.  From 1956 the priest of the church was Antons Gerins, which put big money into the church development.  He obtained a new organ, in the Gothic style and built both side altars – in the one side, the Virgin altar-piece, on the other side St. Anton.  As the priest loved colour, he painted a fresco.  It is positioned on the right hand side near the entrance to the church.  There is a garden around the church and around the garden there is a stone built fence.
