The church was first mentioned as early as in 1352. It was originally a Gothic style building and is consecrated to the birth of Our Lady. Its tower collapsed in 1845 and had to be rebuilt.
Rumour says that a section of text and the letters ‘MCL’ were once found on the masonry of the church and this could indicate the date when the church was established, 1150 and this could also more closely specify the foundation of Zruč.
