It was thoroughly remodelled in 1876–1877, during works supervised by Hawryło Karmański. On this occasion a stone substructure was added, a large narthex was built and the shingle covering was changed. Polychrome decorations inside were contributed by Włodzimierz Manastyrski. In the 1920s a porch and a small treasury were built adjoining the narthex and the chancel, respectively. When the Ukrainian population was relocated from here in the 1940s, the tserkva was taken over by the State Treasury. The church fell into decay, and interior furnishings were gradually stolen and devastated.
