Its history dates back at least to 1680. The current structure was built in 1873 on the site of a previous church that was destroyed by fire.
The church is a typical example of Hutsul wooden sacred architecture from the second half of the 19th century. It features a five-part log construction with a single dome, an extended narthex, and a cruciform floor plan. The facade is clad in metal, and the altar faces northeast. Nearby are two bell towers: the older two-tier one, built together with the church, and a newer one added later.
During the Soviet era, the church remained active but suffered from neglect — no major renovations were carried out. Only in the 1990s, following the revival of Ukrainian religious traditions, was the building partially restored: the iconostasis was refurbished, the facade repaired, and the church regained its well-kept appearance. Today, the parish belongs to the Kolomyia Diocese of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU).
