In 1803, Juozapas Daumantas Sesickis, the owner of Vengerinė Manor, transported a chapel to Žiobiškis, expanding it into the first wooden church. However, due to its small size, it could not accommodate all parishioners, prompting plans for a larger sanctuary.
In 1902, under the leadership of priest Vincentas Zapkus, construction of a new church began. Engineers Pranas Kontrimas and Adolfas Oginskis initially designed an elaborate structure featuring numerous spires. However, to reduce costs, the design was simplified. By 1911, the present masonry church was completed. It stands out with its Neo-Gothic style, Latin cross layout, and construction using split fieldstones and fired bricks. Its beauty is further enhanced by window casings, buttresses, and cornices. The facade is crowned with a 54-meter-high central tower accompanied by four smaller spires.
