[1][2] The new church was constructed in response to a growing cult of devotion around the local portrait of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Its interior was decorated with ceiling frescos by Joseph Ignatz Sadler, and with paintings by Ignác Viktorin Raab and Felix Ivo Leicher.

The author of the design was Nikolaus Thalherr, an architect based in Fulnek, who is also credited with building the churches in Budišov nad Budišovkou and Šternberk.

The local sacristan Josef Hopp recorded 106 instances of pilgrims claiming to receive God's help after praying in front of the picture.

It shows Saint Augustine holding a pen that is leaving a fiery trace behind, which symbolizes his inspiration from the Holy Spirit.

The main motif of the culprit's decoration are the three virtues represented by three women: Hope on the left, Faith in the middle and Love on the right.
