In the 18th century, funded by Jerzy Matuszewicz, a new Uniate church was erected on the site of an older, very dilapidated temple.

The church is located in the eastern part of the village, at the intersection of roads leading to Miedwieżyki and Mikulicze.

[1] However, Maria Kałamajska-Saeed argues that it is one of the many Orthodox churches in Podlachia with unclear origins, noting that the first mention of it appears only in 1610.

[2] The first detailed description of the Uniate church in Rogacze dates back to 1725, recorded during a canonical visitation of the local parish.

The document noted that the building was very old, made of wood, and in poor technical condition (especially the church porch and belfry, which were at risk of collapse), lacking a dome and cross, and having a leaky roof.

[5] The poor condition of the church in Rogacze likely prompted the local landowner, starosta Józef Jerzy Matuszewicz, to construct a new temple.

According to a 19th-century church chronicle, this occurred in the late 1740s, coinciding with the appearance of an icon of St. Anthony on a pear tree in Rogacze.

It was only in that year that the parson, Stefan Iwankiewicz, moved the celebration to the feast day of Anthony of Kiev according to the Orthodox tradition.

[1] In 1872, Father Vasily Charlampovich, the parson in Rogacze, decided to gild the silver cover on the icon of St. Anthony.

[1] On 2 August 1915 (July 20 according to the Julian calendar), after the celebrations on St. Elijah's Day, all Orthodox residents of the village went into exile.

Before leaving, they participated in a service in the church, after which they removed the most valuable items, including the icon of St. Anthony.

In 1940, a second altar was installed in the church, dedicated to St. Anthony of Kiev, funded by a parishioner who wanted to express gratitude for being cured of epilepsy.

Four years later, the bell tower, which had started to lean, was repaired, and in 2009, a comprehensive renovation of the entire building was carried out (replacing the siding and foundations, reinforcing the bell tower structure and roof truss, replacing the church’s metal sheets, domes, and windows).

[10] In 2011, the church was renovated, altering the shape of the onion dome over the nave and changing its color scheme.

[11] The church in Rogacze is a wooden building with a log structure reinforced with vertical beams, oriented, and tripartite in design.

Above the narrower church porch is a bell tower with three tapering levels, topped with an octagonal onion dome.

[1] According to local tradition, miraculous healings occurred both before the original image between 18th and 19th centuries and before its replica in the interwar period.
