Greek Catholic tserkov in Czerteż was built in 1742 following efforts of a local priest, Jan Pacławski
However, it can justifiably be speculated that the building was thoroughly reconstructed and altered that year, but the original structure is far older. It is possible that above the pritvor there was a chapel, important in Orthodox Christianity, but unnecessary in Uniate Church after the Synod of Zamość held in 1720. During the following centuries repairs and alterations were conducted in the building many times. After the post-war relocations, in 1967 it was suggested the tserkva become a branch of the Museum of Folk Architecture in Sanok, but the concept was not accepted by the local residents.
