St Patrick's Church is situated within a curvilinear churchyard. The church is depicted as St Michael's Church on 1889 Ordnance Survey mapping, but is depicted as St Patrick's Church on 1905 Ordnance Survey mapping. The church was a parish church during the medieval period, belonging to the Deanery of Stradtowy. The advowson is thought to have originally belonged to the Crown, but was granted to Strata Florida Abbey by Richard II, on codition that the abbot and convent pray for the soul of his father, Edward the Black Prince. At the dissolution the advowson felll to the Crown, but subsequently found its way into private patronage. The church's twelfth-thirteenth century font, with four human masks in relief, is similar to those at St Sulien's church, Silian (NPRN 402554) and St Llawddog's Church, Cenarth (NPRN 309895) (taken from St Tysilio's Church, Llandisiliogogo, NPRN 400361).

The church is constructed of shaly rubble stone and consists of three-bayed chancel, two-bayed nave, west porch, vestry (north of chancel west bay) and boilerhouse. The nave may predate the chancel, but both are thought to date to around the thirteenth or fourteenth century. A low, square-headed doorway (leading to a slightly curving stair) in the southern stop of the chancel arch formerly led to a rood loft. A former north transept is thought to have been added in the fourteenth century. The porch may be fourteenth-fifteenth century in date. A semi-circular headed stoup adjacent to the west door is medieval in date. In 1705 the upper oart of the north wall was reportedly bulging to the extent that collapse seemed likely. The church was restored in 1878, to the designs of R.J. Withers, London. The rood screen and rood loft were removed at this time, and the west doors were rebuilt, with the south door being removed. The vestry was added and the aumbrey inserted in the chancel. The church was entirely refenestrated, reroofed and refloored with underfloor heating flues. The boilerhouse was added in the twentieth century.
