One of the oldest wooden churches in Latgale, built in 1670 and special with its half-colonies, a hexagonal tower, half-circular windows, a bulb-shaped dome with a cross.

Some sources indicate that the church was built in 1772, but in 1670, according TO pilcenieša Lōch. It is one of the oldest, (perhaps the oldest Latgale) wooden churches in Latgale and the oldest district of Rezekne. The church's wooden bed was built by local masters with axe, without the help of saw. It was originally built as a Pilcene tomb chapel. The local craftsmen of the daddy log were lined with iron nails of local hills, and the centuries were toothed. In ancient articles, the Castle Catholic Church was marked as a Dricānu branch church. The church was swelled by Sv. On behalf of Anton, and one of the altar is dedicated to the Holy. The big altar painting shows the Pester at the cross. The church is an altar painting from 18.gs., which is a cultural monument of national significance.
In the 70 s, the church wanted to be demolished, but it failed because the accountant living in exile, the cultural employee Vladislav Lōcis, intervened. The gods are special with their half-colonies, a hexagonal tower, half-circular windows, a bulb-shaped dome with a cross. The church was embroidered with wooden boards, the roof from the tin. There are two sachets. On the roof above the pressury and above the tower, the iron cross. A ten-pound call in the tower. (Svilāns, 1995)
