The church dates to the 13th century, with a Romanesque south window and a semicircular chapel plan. It was rebuilt in the second half of the 14th century as a three-nave Late Gothic church with ribbed stone vaults, and reached its present form in 1423. A radical renovation from 1878 to 1882 by Friedrich Schmidt and Hermann Bollé gave it a neo-Gothic character, and a restoration from 1922 to 1937 removed much of that layer.
The church is 115 feet (35 m) long and 52 feet (16 m) wide. The polychrome roof tiles show the arms of Zagreb and of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia. The Gothic south portal has fifteen figures in eleven niches, and the article calls it the richest Gothic portal in southern Central Europe.
The 2020 earthquake damaged the vaults and ribs, and Mass was held after the renovation on December 3, 2023.
