Orthodox parish church, belonging to the Narew deanery of the Warsaw-Bielsko diocese of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The creation of the church was recorded in sources as early as the 16th century. After the conclusion of the Brest Union, the local parish adopted its provisions no later than 1635. The oldest parish temple functioned until the second half. 18th century, when a new one was erected in its place due to very poor technical condition. The equipment of the Uniate church in Narew was seriously latinized at that time. The preserved inventory descriptions indicate that there was no iconostasis in the temple, but side altars were inserted into it, and in the main altar there was a typically western image of Our Lady of Sorrows. These elements remained in the church also after 1839, when, pursuant to the provisions of the Połock synod, it passed, together with the entire diocese, to the Russian Orthodox Church. The iconostasis was not inserted into the Narew temple until 1868. The cult of the image of Our Lady of Sorrows also continued. The Pounicka church was moved to the Narew cemetery in the 1880s, and a new temple was built in its place. At the beginning of the 20th century, over 3,000 attended. faithful. The activity of the parish died out in 1915 due to presence. The Orthodox evacuated from the village took with them especially worshiped in the temple images that never returned to Narew. After 1918, the church was reopened and is open ever since. In 1990, the building was severely damaged by a fire that destroyed its historic interior. The restored church was again consecrated four years later. The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a wooden, oriented structure, on the Latin cross plan, on a stone and cement foundation. The building has a crowned formwork structure. The width of the transept is equal to the width of the nave.
