There is an iconostasis consisting of about 50 icons painted by the masters of Zhovkva Painting and Carving School of Ivan Rutkovych in the beginning of 18th century. The iconostasis is made from linden wood carved by Ignatiy Stobenskyi. In 1978–79, iconostasis was restored. Now the church belongs to the UGCC.
On the church's walls one can find the plates confirming that the building is an architecture monument built in 1720.[2]
