In 1839 the Orthodox Church in Rogacze was administratively added to the Russian Orthodox Church. In 1872 the building was entirely devastated by fire. In place of the burnt Orthodox church a church purchased from the Parish of Dubiny was moved here. In 1944 the building was severely damaged due to bombardment. After the war the building underwent a few restorations. A thorough renovation was conducted at the beginning of the 21st century.
