Historic sources mention a Marian chapel donated to the Velehrad Monastery by Duke Ulrich of Carinthia in 1247, some historians are convinced that it was situated in the quarter now called Sady.  A church was built here in the 15th century, and its rib-vaulted presbytery with a polygonal ending and figural ornamentation has survived till the present day.

In the 18th century, the nave was remodelled in the Baroque style. In 1876 the church was devastated by fire, and repaired in the next year. Further interior alterations were made in 1893, when a new pseudo-Gothic altar by Josef Runfgeldier from Tyrol was installed. In 1895, an original Gothic window was uncovered, and in 1906 Matěj Strmiska installed a new organ. Amateur archaeologist Antoš Horsák explored the cellars under the old ossuary in 1937.

The church is a single-aisle oriented structure with a polygonal ending of the presbytery, an oblong sacristy on the south side of the presbytery and a quadrilateral tower on the front façade.
