This church that we are admiring is not the first, which was built in this place. The Orthodox church in Narew is mentioned for the first time in 1560. During the land reform conducted back then, called “the Volok Reform”, the possessions of landowners were registered. In the register kept by Stanisław Dziewiałtowski, an Eastern Orthodox church is mentioned. After approximately 40 years since the Union of Brest was signed, the parish joined other parishes going through the process of Latinisation. This had an impact on its equipment and ornaments. During the Uniate times, the condition of the church declined and in the 18th century it was necessary to build a new church prepared for the needs of the Uniate rite. This one survived until the 80s of the 19th century. It was then moved to the cemetery in Narew and was replaced by the third church – the Eastern Orthodox one.

In 1915, in the wake of bieżeństwo /mass evacuation/, the village was basically depopulated and left with no faithful, and the church’s furnishings were packed and taken to Russia. The same happened to the entire iconostasis. Unfortunately, the old works have never returned to the mother parish.

In 1918 the church reopened its doors and has been hosting the faithful until today uninterruptedly.

The building is oriented and was built according to the Latin cross plan. The church can be seen from far away thanks to its beautiful blue colour. After the fire in 1990, the building was refurbished and its interior was fitted anew. Nowadays, the church delights with a magnificent three-tiered iconostasis and great acoustics. If possible, it is worth visiting the church during service or on a holiday to listen to entrancing sounds of old religious songs.
