Long Description:
Puvodne románský ci rane gotický kostel byl renesancne prestaven za Petra Boubínského, pána na Strele kolem roku 1587. Prestavbu vedl stavitel Thomassio Rossi di Mendrisio, zv. Vlach. Puvodní malá vežicka byla nahrazena mohutnou veží zakoncenou tremi patry slepých arkád s postavami starozákonních proroku. O 260 let pozdeji, v roce 1847, byla vež ješte zvýšena a zakoncena jehlanovitou strechou se zkosenými nárožími. Kostel patrí mezi nejzajímavejší stavby románské renesance v Cechách.
