In 1803, the owner of Vengerinė Manor, Juozapas Daumantas Sesickis, transported a chapel to Žiobiškis, expanding it into the first wooden church. However, due to its small size, it could not accommodate all the parishioners, prompting plans for a larger church.

In 1803, the owner of Vengerinė Manor, Juozapas Daumantas Sesickis, transported a chapel to Žiobiškis, expanding it into the first wooden church. However, due to its small size, it could not accommodate all the parishioners, prompting plans for a larger church. In 1902, under the guidance of priest Vincentas Zapkus, construction of a new church began. Engineers Pranas Kontrimas and Adolfas Oginskis initially designed an elaborate structure with numerous spires. However, to reduce costs, the design was
simplified. By 1911, the present masonry church was completed, showcasing Neo-Gothic architecture, a Latin cross layout, and a structure made of split fieldstones and fired bricks. Its beauty is accentuated by window casings, buttresses, and cornices. The facade features a 54-meter-high central tower accompanied by four smaller spires. This church stands as a testament to the enduring faith and artistic dedication of the local community, combining architectural grandeur with historical significance.
