Tserkov in Moszczanica was remodelled or redecorated a number of times during the 1800s. Subsequently it was thoroughly reconstructed in 1930
The landmark is an example of traditional archaic sacral architecture of old Ruthenia. The tripartite log building, oriented eastward, comprises a large sacristy adjoining the chancel. Over the nave there is an eight-panel dome on a tall drum. The other chambers are covered with double-pitched roofs. In the chancel we can see a coved flat ceiling, and in the narthex a false trapezoid ceiling. On the dome we can see a false roof lantern with onion-shaped cupola. The outer walls are clad with vertical wood planks with moulding.
