There is no exact date when the church in Wolowel was built and to which denomination it belonged. The “Geographical dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland and other Slavic countries” mentions the municipality of Wolowel as part of Dobra Królewska Zakoziel. The church was first mentioned in 1569, in connection with the formation of the Union of Lublin, as a Uniate church. The list of Christian Catholic settlements of 1726 mentions Wolowel.
