There is no exact date of construction of the church in Drohiczyn. The oldest documents mentioning it begin from the 18th century.
The “List of Christian Catholic settlements in 1726” mentions Dorochyczyn Oppidum.
In 1827 the church burned down. Only the icon was saved. The church was wooden, only the foundation remained.
List of Uniate clergy who served in the church:
In 1837 the Lithuanian Ecclesiastical Consistory issued an order to build a new parish church, as the Uniate convent was abolished and its building was transferred to the Orthodox St. Sretensky Church. Due to the poor condition of the building, it was not suitable for reconstruction, but services continued there.
For almost 20 years the issue of building a new church was being resolved. Only in 1858 permission was received. The church was built in 1863 according to the project approved by the Grodno provincial construction commission.
The church is a monument of folk wooden architecture: a rectangular log house with a gable roof, a three-tiered belfry with an onion dome, and a porch.
After the establishment of Soviet power the church gradually fell into decline. In the 1970s it was in poor condition. Significant revival and renovation of the church began with the arrival of Archpriest Peter Pinchuk. His son, Archpriest John Pinchuk, continued the work: a baptistery was completed, a Sunday school and sisterhood were opened, and a library was created.
