This church was built in 1674. The original structure had an incorrect shrine, and probably was built in Gothic style. Throughout the whole century it has been enlarged and expanded to give its present appearance in baroque style in 1739, when chapel and sacristy were adorned. Along the west, the bell tower was erected, and around the churches, the wall with the towers and the porch. Masonry works were completed in 1740.
The interior of the church is of particular importance where wall paintings and gilded wooden inventory create a rich Baroque ambience. Five altars: the main (St. Mary of Snow) and the four ancillary (St. Barbara, St. Joseph, St Stephen the First Lady and St. Crown) made from 1739 to 1743 by several masters. Among them stands out Styrian sculptor Josef Schokotnig from Graz, who made two side altars and a pulpit in Belcac. The interior of the church was painted from 1740 to 1742. The main master was Ivan Ranger with three assistants, also a Pauline monk. The figural content of the baptismal frescos was arranged mainly on the vaults of the church ship, chapel and apse.
Wall paintings, dynamic statues and typical Baroque woodwork decorations, with a deliberate light effect, provide the ultimate baroque scenery.
The church was last restored in 1994-2005.
