The first church in Gaiķi was built around 1640 and was made of wood. The current church was built in 1658. In 1684 a tower was added to the church, but in 1817 the church was completely restored.
This remote, outwardly plain house of worship is home to some respectable 17th century sacral works of art, including its altar wood carvings and the intarsia finishing of the pulpit. However, the most impressive objects are the organ loft and pew paintings depicting the apostles and allegoric figures. This is one of only a few such collections of Mannerist paintings in provincial Latvian churches.
