Tserkov in Ulucz was built on top of a hill named Dubnyk, in a large village which once existed here. Initially, until 1744, there was a monastery here. In the subsequent centuries it was used as a branch of the parish tserkva in Ulucz, and it held religious celebrations only occasionally, most importantly for the feast of Our Lord’s Ascension
This tradition is upheld today. The church is the only remnant of the monastery. The size of the area in the past comprising the monastery nowadays is only reflected by the stone wall surrounding the tserkva and the cemetery. According to historical records the tserkva was built in 1510–1517. On the other hand, dendrochronological analyses showed that the collected samples of wood date from 1659. The tserkva was renovated and remodelled a number of times.
