The church was built from 1801 until 1804 by Fridrihs Veits from Cēsis. At the centre of the altar is a painting, “Christ on the Cross,” which dates to the latter half of the 19th century. The bell was cast in 1895, and the organ was built in 1914.

This is a small river in a very deep and broad valley that is crossed by the Vecumnieki-Ilūkste road. Vilkupe was named in relation to the ambitious plan of Duke Jacob of Courland to link the river basins of the Daugava and the Lielupe rivers. Vilkupe was meant to be one of the components in this canal. This is a good place to think about the scope and innovation of Medieval people and their ideas. A fragment of the canal is marked and can be seen a bit less than 4 km from the populated location that is also called Vilkupe.
