The construction of the church was started in 1835 at the expense of the local landowner Alexandra Vasilyevna Zhelyabuzhskaya. The final decoration of the temple was made at the expense of N. S. Skrebnitsky, Lieutenant N. Stefanovich, and the Chernivian merchant Alenichev-Popov. There are no bell towers at the temple.
The side altar of the temple, in the name of the Sign of the Mother of God, was consecrated on November 12, 1842, and a service was held in it until 1870, when the main throne of the church was consecrated on October 28.

And in it there is a church, the Great Martyrs of Paraskovchey called Fridays of Christ ... ”(l.184).
