The Orthodox Church of the Nativity of Christ is mentioned in the 16th century as the main religious building of the craft district of ancient Halych (in 1593, the church was officially attached to a pottery workshop).
During the 16th-18th centuries, the church was repeatedly destroyed by the Tatars, after which it was reconstructed and acquired its current appearance. At the same time, a wooden carved iconostasis was made. At the beginning of the 20th century, restoration was carried out with the participation of Father Mykola Vinnytskyi, a well-known Muscovite who was repressed by the Austrian authorities. A monument to him was erected in front of the church.

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 зведена дзвіниця. Біля церкви просто неба споруджено макет стародавнього Галича.
