The church was constructed in period between 1804 and 1813.[1] It was reconstructed three times in the 20th century, firstly in 1912 during Austria-Hungary, then in 1975 in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and finally in 1993 during the Croatian War of Independence when Mirkovci were part of self-proclaimed SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia.[1]
In March 2013 the church's wall was vandalized with engraving of fascist Ustashe symbol.[3] The same incident happened again next month, this time with the inscription in lacquer spray.[4]
