Церква Благовіщення Пресвятої Богородиці у Городку збудована в 1633 році на місці, де раніше стояв дерев'яний храм, перенесений сюди у 1547 році з передмістя.

У 1869 році стіни по периметру укріпили похилим кам'яним цоколем, а з північного боку влаштували потужні контрфорси. У 1880-х роках дерев'яні бані були замінені кам'яними. Пізніше до північної стіни прибудували каплицю. У 1950-х роках у храмі було споруджено іконостас.

Сучасний вигляд Благовіщенська церква отримала в результаті численних перебудов. Останню реставрацію здійснили в 1938 році.

Як пам'ятка архітектури, Благовіщенська церква у Городку є чудовим зразком ренесансної архітектури в Україні.

Належить до Української греко-католицької церкви.
