Церква Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці в Мурованих Курилівцях заснована в 1781 році. Пізніше її розібрали, а матеріали використали для нового п'ятикупольного храму, будівництво якого коштом парафіян, скарбниці та поміщиків Комара та Лихачова було завершено в 1889 році.

У храмі був одноярусний позолочений іконостас із цінною іконою Тихвінської Божої Матері, яка була придбана на Афоні та пожертвована поміщицею Чихачовою.

У 1934 році радянською владою церкву Різдва Богородиці було закрито, потім ненадовго відроджено під час німецької окупації, але у 1950-х роках знову закрита та позбавлена ​​куполів. Приміщення використовувалося як бібліотека, спортивна зала, пекарня та навіть склад склотари.

З 1991 року храм знову чинний.
