The first church in Nīdermuiža was made of wood and built in 1748. In 1875, the church was expanded, and in 1892, it was completely restored. In 1898, the church burned down when a fire broke out in the tribune (smoking vessel) and the wind fanned the coals. To provide a place to hold services until a new church could be built, a small wooden chapel was erected. It was located behind the current church fence in an apple orchard opposite the presbytery. In 1901, Provost Jāzeps Andžejevskis built a new brick church on the site of the burned-down church. The funds for the construction of the church were provided by parishioners and some benefactors from Lithuania and St. Petersburg. The church has a very beautiful large altar richly decorated with wood carvings, which Provost Andžejevskis bought from a closed church in Lithuania. The Nīdermuiža Church is a 16 m long and 14 m wide multi-nave building with a cement floor and tin roof. In 1977, the roof and towers were painted with oil paint. There is a brick fence around the church. The Nīdermuiža church was not located in the center of the parish, but only 2 km from the border of the Jasmuiža Catholic parish, so in 1957, the residents of the nearest Jasmuiža Catholic parish village asked the Archbishop of Riga on December 17 to add them to the Nīdermuiža parish. The motivation was as follows: the Jasmuiža Church was 13 km away, but the Nīdermuiža Church was only 2 km away. Archbishop Antonijs Springovičs took this into account and added six villages, with a total of 133 people, to the parish.
