As well as (almost, 2020.) everything else in this heroic city, this church has risen from the ashes and was rebuilt after Serbian extremists destroyed it in summer and autumn 1991. Outside and inside is very beautiful. One part of inside area is left as it was after the Croatian War of Independence (Homeland War), so people can remember, which is very good thing!

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
