Erected in the second half of the nineteenth century. The construction of the church in Chróścina was associated with granting the Russian lieutenant general Krasnokutski the farms Bolesławiec, Wiewiórka, Chróścin, Mieleszyn, Mokrsko, Krzyworzeka and Kamionka in recognition of his merits in suppressing the January Uprising. The general's daughter, Tatiana, married Ivan Łopukhin and together with her husband funded the construction of a new family residence and a private small church in Chróścina. It served mainly the family (it was to be the tomb of the Łopukhins family) and the Orthodox soldiers from the border garrison serving and stationed in the area. The building was erected at the end of the 19th century, and in 1903 the founders' son, who died tragically, was buried there. An Orthodox cemetery was established around the church. The construction cost was PLN 12,000. rubles
