The former Greek Catholic temple. It is located on a small hill near the road to Komańcza.

The church was built in 1889 by a carpenter Hojsan from Płonna. Erected on stone foundation, wooden, oriented, of log construction, planked with vertical boards, tripartite, with small porch. Above the babync a tower of pole construction, topped with a spherical cupola. Sheet metal, single-pitched, gable roof with two helmets, painted bright green. Inside the church there is an overhanging choir, an iconostasis with original icons, on the ceilings and walls there is a figural-ornamental polychrome from 1925, a brass chandelier for candles given in 2004 by a clergyman from Alaska. The church has no electric installation.

Near the church there is a wooden bell tower, also from 1889. It is a pole construction with a tent roof, equipped with four bells. Two high wooden crosses stand in the cemetery, one of which commemorates the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus.

The church served Greek Catholics until the end of World War II. In 1945 almost all Ukrainians from Szczawne were deported to the USSR. From that time the building was used by the State Agricultural Farm and then sold to a private person and intended for demolition. The church was saved thanks to the efforts of the post-war settlers and a few people who managed to return to their homeland after 1956. In December 1962, the church was handed over to the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church as a branch church of the parish in Morochow. Since then, the building was renovated several times. In 1973 and 1998 the bell tower was renovated, in 2003 the historic tombstones in the church cemetery were restored, and in 2004 the wooden chapel of Our Lady in the center of the village.

Services in the church are celebrated every second Sunday by priests from Morokhov. The main feast falls on August 28 - the feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God.

On the basis of the Act of 17 December 2009 on the regulation of the legal status of certain properties remaining in the possession of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church, the temple became the sole property of the Orthodox Church.

The church, bell tower and cemetery were entered into the register of monuments on 31 January 1985 under the number A-79.
