Православний храм Різдва Христового згадується в ХVІ сторіччі як головна культова споруда ремісничого району стародавнього Галича (в 1593 році храм був офіційно закріплений за гончарним цехом).

Протягом ХVІ-ХVІІІ століть церкву неодноразово руйнували татари, після чого вона була реконструйована і набула теперішнього вигляду. Тоді ж зроблено дерев'яний різьблений іконостас. На початку XX століття було проведено реставрацію за участю отця Миколи Вінницького – відомого москвофіла, репресованого австрійською владою. Перед храмом йому встановлено пам'ятник.

В останні роки поряд із церквою Різдва Христового зведена дзвіниця. Біля церкви просто неба споруджено макет Давнього Галича.
