At the beginning of the 20th century, the dilapidated church was demolished, and a new religious building was erected in its place, consecrated in 1908 by the Bishop of Chełm, Eulogius Georgiyevsky.
It only served its original function for seven years, as in 1915, the local Orthodox population left for exile.
The building was renovated to meet the requirements of the Latin liturgy; a new main altar was constructed using parts of the iconostasis.
The Orthodox parish in Horbów was founded before 1516, with a report from that year mentioning the construction of a church for the existing pastoral facility.
[2] The third church of this denomination was erected in the village in 1772[2] or 1854,[1] with sources consistently stating that it was a wooden structure.
The local parson, Father Emilian Starkiewicz, opposed the liturgical changes leading up to the dissolution of the union and encouraged the faithful not to comply with the orders of the Russian authorities.
Due to his stance, the priest was removed from his post and replaced by a clergyman from Galicia, who fully accepted the actions of the Russian administration.
[2] At that time, Orthodox Christians were a minority (one-third) of Horbów's population,[2] and they no longer had a separate temple in the village, although in 1929, Metropolitan Dionysius Waledyński of Warsaw and all Poland sought approval from the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Public Education to establish a branch parish.
[1] In 1952, the galleries at the side entrances were removed, the tower was restored, the interiors were re-clad, and new paintings were added.
A notable feature is an icon of St. John the Evangelist from the early 20th century, preserved in the altar.
New additions for the church include a painting of Thérèse of Lisieux, created in 1937 by Józef Bołtuć, and one of St. Barbara from 1939 by Jan Popiel.
An older folk crucifix, dating to the first half of the previous century, is also part of the collection.
