The first mentions of the village appeared in 1262, when the Duke of Greater Poland, Bolesław the Pious, issued a document confirming that Komes Przybysław of Lutom made a donation to the Cistercian monastery in Obra. It is the oldest surviving document confirming the existence of the village in the 13th century. The first owners of the village are the knights from the Realists' family, who took the name of the Lutomskis. In the mid-fourteenth century, in the village of Lutom, a parish was established, next to which there was a wooden church of St. Andrew the Apostle. In 1753, the wife of Henryk Brühl - Franciszek Marianna née Countess Kolovrat-Krakovskych ordered the demolition of the temple, which was falling into decay. In its place in 1762 a brick church was built, which was hit by fire exactly 100 years later. In the following years, the interior was refurbished and the losses made in 1892 repaired. Thanks to the efforts of the parish priest, Stanisław Gintrowski, it is possible to obtain an altar tomb with a tabernacle, lodges at the presbytery, side altars and a pulpit. Currently, the church is under the invocation of st. Andrew the Apostle and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Help of Christians.
