An Orthodox affiliate church belonging to the parish of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Hrubieszów, in the deanery of Zamość of the Lublin-Chełm diocese of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The first Orthodox church in Dołhobyczów was built before 1472. The local parish then adopted the union. In 1875, she was forcibly incorporated into the Orthodox Chełm-Warsaw Eparchy as part of the liquidation of the Uniate diocese of Chełm. The existing temple was founded at the beginning of the Of the 20th century after a fire in an older church. The author of her project was Vladimir Pokrowski. It was one of the few temples in the Russian partition that represented the Byzantine-Russian style in the Neo-Byzantine variant. The church remained the seat of the parish in the interwar period, but after the resettlement of the Ukrainian population in the 1940s, it was abandoned and became the property of the Treasury. It was used by the "Samopomoc Chłopska" cooperative, then it stood empty. In 1967, the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church obtained permission to resume liturgical life in it, but due to the very poor technical condition of the neglected building, these plans were abandoned. The building was secured against further degradation in the early 1990s, but it wasn't until 2007–2010 that the Lublin-Chełm diocese carried out a comprehensive renovation. There are no regular services in the temple due to the lack of Orthodox population in the village. The building represents the Byzantine-Russian style in the Neo-Byzantine version. It was built on the plan of a Greek cross. Above its central part is an octagonal drum on which the dome was placed. The lateral arms of the cross cover the roofs with a barrel vault. The altar room was built on a rectangular plan, it is closed by a semicircular apse. In turn, above the vestibule of the three-part structure, there is a belfry crowned with a lantern with a domed helmet. The roof of the vestibule is hemispherical, three-sided. The temple is decorated with columns with cube heads as well as cube and zigzag friezes. The architecture of the Dłhobyczów church was unique compared to other Orthodox churches erected during the Russian partition. The neo-Byzantine style applied in this form was represented, apart from it, only churches built in the same design by Pokrowski in Tomaszów Mazowiecki (dedicated in 1901) and in Rygałówka. Inside the temple there is a single-row iconostasis. It was reconstructed together with the polychromes during the last renovation based on photos kept in the Lviv archives. During the renovation, the cemetery around the church, previously abandoned, was tidied up and the fence was reconstructed. The church was entered in the register of monuments on March 28, 1988.
