The church was built by master Pavlo Toniv from the neighboring village of Bitlia on the Lviv side of the
Carpathians and master Ivan Tsyhanyn from the village of Tykhy. The builders finished the work on June 11, 1745. Other inscriptions on the log house add touches to the history of the church: "1895 Hyrych Petro curator weighed" (the church was being raised and the lower logs of the log cabins were replaced) and "Havrylko Vasyl curator" - apparently, this curator organized such a responsible repair work, and it was performed by the master Tsyhanyn from Tykhy (possibly a descendant of the church builder). It is said that the church was originally built high on a hillside, but old people found it difficult to climb up there, so the church was moved down the slope, almost to the road. The bishop's visitation of 1751 refers to a new church in Uzhok, equipped with all the books and two bells.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, such churches stood in almost every village along the upper reaches of the Uzh. Nowadays, five of them have been preserved, but three are mercilessly covered with tin.

According to legend, in ancient times Uzhok was a large settlement and had as many as seven mills, but after the plague spread throughout Europe, only one man remained in the village, who lived above the church. New settlers came from the neighboring
Galician villages of Hnyla, Yavoriv, and Syanka.

The Uzhok church has been extremely popular for about 100 years. Its photos have been published many times in periodicals, books, and booklets. Many
Transcarpathian artists have dedicated their paintings to this outstanding monument, and its image adorned the bishop's chapel and the chapel of the

The churches of the upper reaches of the Uzh belong to the Boyko style and have numerous relatives in Lviv oblast-about fifty Boyko churches in the Skole and Turkiv districts and several more in Ivano-Frankivsk oblast and Poland, which is within easy reach from the Uzhok pass. However, the

In Soviet times, the church was protected as an architectural monument of the
Ukrainian SSR (#198). In 2018, the church was recognized as a cultural heritage site of national significance, which was included in the State Register of Immovable Monuments of Ukraine (No. 070022).
