The first Church of the Transfiguration was built in 1571; it was likely destroyed by fire during the Polish-Turkish War of 1672. A new church was constructed on its site in 1676 (the schematisms of the Przemyśl Eparchy mention the date 1670 and an erroneous date of consecration, which clearly does not align with the described chronology). After subsequent reconstructions, the church had a cruciform plan with five domes [2, p. 61]. Between 1841 and 1844, the roofs were covered with sheet metal instead of the earlier wooden shingles. It burned down during an artillery bombardment on the night of June 17–18, 1915 [3], when Russian troops began retreating from Galicia and the front line was situated between Staryi and Novyi Lublyntsi for 11 days [1].

A large masonry church, designed by the renowned architect Vasyl Nahirnyi, was initiated in 1906. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Przemyśl, Kostyantyn Chekhovych, on October 11, 1908, during a grand gathering of people [1]. The church featured an oak iconostasis (crafted by woodcarver Ivan Ivaninio) with icons painted by Oleksa Skrutok in 1911–1912. Icons for the side altars were created by Fr. Roman Isaychuk, the parish priest of Srednie. Above the main altar was placed a copy of an ancient icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which presumably survived the fire of the first church.

The old wooden bell tower from 1676 was dismantled in 1908 during the construction of a new one [3, p. 375].

After the deportation of Ukrainians, the church was closed, although most of its interior decoration has been preserved. Once a year, descendants of the deported inhabitants of Lubaczów region gather here, and a Divine Liturgy is celebrated.
