The most significant stage of construction in the 14th century can be reconstructed based on reports, structural and architectural analysis.

Painted windows were created between 1884 and 1912. In presbytery they have a simple decoration and were created in 1884. In the side naves they are decorated with figural paintings - st. Agnese (1885), st. Cecilia (1906), Ludmila (1910), Wenceslaus and
