Probably at the end of the 14th century, a new stone single-nave Gothic church was built in Vrbov. The old schematisms state 1397 as the year the building was built. It was damaged by fire in 1452 and probably suffered during the Turk-Tatar invasion in 1599. In the 15th century, the building was expanded. A northern nave was added and in the 18th century a southern nave. At present, the church is a three-nave building with a presbytery facing east. Its ceiling is formed by a lunette barrel vault with stucco ornamental decoration. At the border of the presbytery and the main nave is a Baroque pulpit from the end of the 17th century with sculptures of evangelists. On the vault of the main nave is an older mural of the Holy Trinity - the father of the son and the Holy Spirit. In the aft part of the north nave is a mechanical movable nativity scene.
