Tserkov in Cewków probably completed in 1842. In the late 19th/early 20th century, magnificent illusionist figural and ornamental polychrome decorations were added inside the buildings
The narthex was once preceded with a vestibule supported on two pillars; its double pitched roof covered with sheet metal, which fell of the structure, has been preserved. The chancel on the southern and northern side is adjoined by the symmetrically located sacristy and treasury, both with rectangular floor plans. Over the nave there is an octagonal drum covered with an eight-panel dome, which is topped with a false roof lantern. Over the chancel and narthex there are double-pitched roofs while the sacristy and the treasury are covered with side roofs. The entire walls were covered with shingles.
A frame of the iconostasis which can still be seen inside is as old as the building.
