The Berzewicz family built the church around 1400, as confirmed by the family coat of arms (three roses in a shield) on the keystone of the presbytery vault. In 1431, the Hussites, wbesieging the Spis towns at that time, profaned the church. In the 17th century, however, the village, dependent on the religion practised by the lords of the nearby Dunajec Castle, came under the influence of Protestant currents. The Kacwin church probably remained in Lutheran hands until 1666.

The church is stone-built with brick, rendered, with stone supports. After the great fire of 1677, which destroyed the church and the vicarage and burned all parish records, the church was rebuilt and enlarged; hence, most of the interior furnishings, including the large main altar and side altars, date from the late 17th century.  The church's presbytery was vaulted, and the nave had a wooden ceiling until 1712.   The church tower originally had a Gothic covering, but its style changed in the following centuries due to numerous fires. In 1679, a church inventory was taken by Father Rozmus and he began writing metrics. The great altar was built after a fire at the end of the 17th century, in addition to which two side altars, the altar of Our Lady of Sorrows and St Anne were erected. In 1691, the Confraternity of St Anne in Kacwin  was canonically erected Pope Alexander VIII, by breviary of 24 October 1689, granted on St Anne's Day a plenary indulgence to all the faithful for eternity. Since then, the fraternal indulgenced feast of St Anne has been celebrated annually. on 26 July.

In 1700, Bishop Jan Zsigraj, Prebishop of Spis, made a canonical visitation, which stated that the church of All Saints in Kacwin had been in Catholic hands for 68 years. The church has 3 altars, and 4 bells on the tower were installed in recent years. Next to the church is a parish school with a Catholic teacher. There were 836 souls in the parish, including from Frankowa, Frankówki and Osturnia. In 1714, a Baroque choir was built, and in the following years, a beautiful polychrome was created, which unfortunately suffered a further fire soon after.  Also of note in the interior is the classicist pulpit decorated with ornaments. The most valuable church furnishings are a richly decorated and gilded monstrance from 1691.

In 1757 or 1759, the church's roof, ridge turret, and tower were burned in a fire, and the bells were destroyed.  The polychrome and the vaulting were damaged. At that time, the vicarage, granaries and church cottages were also burnt down.

Again, after the 1759 fire, the church was covered and plastered, and the exterior painted Stone columns and a new sacristy door were made in 1761 when the church cottages were also rebuilt.  On 6 August 1761, a large hailstorm broke the windows in the church.

Between 1767 and 1778, a Rococo cupola was built on the tower, which still survives today. The tower was renovated and stylishly redesigned inside and out, incorporating a clock. Two larger bells were tolled: of St Donatus and St Anne.There was also a third smaller one placed in the ridge turret. The damaged vault in the presbytery was repaired and the whole church was painted white. Two smaller bells were also tolled. A new tabernacle was made, and the great altar was restored with new statues and a new altar of Our Lady of Sorrows. A new canopy was purchased. Four painters worked in the church for 18 months painting the church and gilding the altars. A new side altar was made with two paintings of St Joseph's and St John of Nepomuk. At the end of the 18th century, a stone altar of St Anthony was created

In 1779,  Fr Walenty Kaczmarczyk made the pews. In the 19th century, the church was covered with new shingles and the tower and ridge turret were clad twice. In 1839, a new door to the church was made, and in the same year, three new pews for the presbytery were added. In 1840, the altarpieces of St Anthony and St Anne were repaired, and the doors and pews in the church were decoratively painted. In 1842, the church's vault was reinforced with iron anchors; the church walls were supported with more enormous buttresses, and an arch was built over the cross as a chapel. The new pulpit was made by a sculptor from Ružomberok in 1843. In 1853, the Chapel of St Anne was renovatedand a new painting was made for the altarpiece. The Confraternity of the Rosary was canonically erected in 1881, An image of the Virgin Mary of the Rosary was placed at the altar of St Joseph, and a fraternal indulgence was introduced in Octobera

In 1902, the altarpiece of St Anthony was redesigned. and a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was placed there. The Apostleship of Prayer has also been erected. On 23 October, the altar of Our Lady of the Rosary burned down; it was a beautiful altar founded in 1777 in honour of St Joseph, in which an image of the Virgin Mary was placed. Based on the model of the old altar, a new one was made in Tyrol in 1913. The new cenacle was painted in 1913 by Ludwig Tary, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Pest. In 1914, a new organ for the church was made by Józef Angster from Budapest. In 1922, two new bells were manufactured by the Schwabe company in Biała; the larger bell was funded by Americans, compatriots of Kacwin, and the smaller one by local parishioners.

The great altar was extensively renovated and gilded between 1926 and 1934. The floor in the church and sacristy was changed to terracotta, the pews were replenished and painted, and a new throne was made to resemble the old one. A window under the choir and a door to the vestry were made. The tower and bell tower were clad with new painted shingles.

In 1944, the church was painted by Mikołaj Stelmach, a restorer from Ružomberok. The work started on the church was not completed. The old polychrome in the chancel from the 18th century renovated by Stelmach was damaged by the application of a thick layer of paint, which is flaking off in patches. The great altar was also repainted dark and gilded this year. In the years 1949–1950, the side altars were renovated and gilded by Stanisław Puchał a, a goldsmith from Kraków, thanks to the efforts of the late Rev. Antoni Sikora.

In the 19th century, the church was surrounded by a stone wall, within which several gravestones from the church cemetery still remain.
