It was built on the location where an originally smaller building had been situated. Soon after the liberation from the Turks, a catholic parish was established for the use of the immigrant engineers and workers who came to work on the railway construction. This building was replaced in 1925 by a new, extended church with a tower. The designer is not known, and the architecture has both Neo-Gothic and Neo-Baroque elements. The design of an additional floor above the ground one was commissioned by Julijan Djupon in 1934, but no construction work was executed according to this plan.

The current appearance of the building dates back to 1992, and the designer is Zoran Marković. The changes were radical, both to the tower and the three remaining ground level sections. The cornice heights were increased and coordinated with the adjacent family house on the south side. The façade is completely finished in artificial stone, with decorative elements of Neo-Romanesque art, while the tower was heightened, and given an entirely new form and finish in the spirit of the Neo-Baroque.
