In 1923, after Lithuania regained the Klaipėda region, there was no Catholic church in Plikiai. At that time, only the Plikiai Evangelical Lutheran Church was active in the settlement. In 1932, the current church was built on the initiative of Adalbert Danelaudzki, a priest, a canon and the parishioners.
When Germans occupied the Klaipėda region in 1939, conducting Mass in Lithuanian was allowed only until July 1940. Later, Mass was banned in the Lithuanian language. At that time, the number of Catholics in the parish decreased significantly as they moved more to the side of Lithuania Major. Without Mass, the parish decayed.
The church has a rectangular layout and one tower. Inside, there are three altars. The churchyard has a wooden paling fence.
This church is included in the Register of Cultural Values.
