The church was built in 1640 and is a typical example of folk architecture in Silesia. It is a simple wooden single-nave building, the presbytery is three-sided, the windows are five-sided with shutters. The roof is made of shingles, as is the small turret. On the main altar is a painting of St. Anthony. The organ is from 1801. The current appearance of the church is from 1907.

From the beginning of its existence, it has been a pilgrimage church. Therefore, during your visit to the Prašivá cottage, it will be locked. It only opens during pilgrimages and religious services, e.g. to St. Anthony, on New Year's Eve. Interesting fact: In the years 1939-1945, the church was already located outside the borders of the so-called Protectorate, and thus access was denied to Czech pilgrims. (Briefly in 1938-39, the church at Prašivá was in Polish occupied territory).
