Greek Catholic Church is one of the oldest religious buildings in Rohatyn. The Church of the Nativity has survived almost unchanged since the time of the Galician principality. The people of Rohatyn hid in the walls of this church during the Tatar raids. In 1723, 1872, 1941 the church burned down. After the fires, the temple was rebuilt, sometimes with minor changes, which is why it is now an attractive mixture of Gothic and Baroque elements. During the First World War, when Rohatyn almost completely burned down, the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin remained intact. During the retreat of German troops in 1944, the temple was severely damaged. The direct hit of the bomb destroyed the central vault of the church and the iconostasis. Restoration of the shrine lasted almost 10 years. The iconostasis in its current form was completed only in 1961. A memorial plaque in honor of the fallen UGA soldiers has been installed in the church. The churchyard is surrounded by strong walls with two gates. On the outer wall of the temple walls there is a memorial bas-relief in honor of the inhabitants of the city shot in December 1943 by the German occupiers. At present, the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin in Rohatyn belongs to the Diocese of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, is completely restored, belongs to the historical and architectural monuments of national importance and is considered a valuable monument of cultural and sacred heritage of Ukraine.

It stands next to the burned old church.
