The church was built in the second half of the 17th century. The date of construction is often given as 1700. The tower was added in 1743. This date was found on one of the beams of the structure. However, it may only refer to the renovation of the older tower. It is the oldest probably dated tower of the Lemko church. After Operation Vistula in 1947, the temple began to be used as a Roman Catholic church, belonging to the parish in Uście Gorlickie. Currently, it is shared between Roman Catholics and Greek Catholics.

The parish church of St. Catherine and St. Nicholas survived until the end of the 19th century. Then it turned out to be insufficient, and the river stone from which it was built caused its dampness. In the spring of 1908, the construction of a new church began in its place. In 1909, the foundations were laid, and the cornerstone was consecrated the following year. The construction works were carried out by Roman Olszewski, implementing the project of the Warsaw architect Józef Pius Dziekoński. Later, work on the church was carried out by the then Vice-Rector of the Warsaw University of Technology, Zdzisław Mączeński. The church was erected in the neo-gothic style of brick with the use of stone. On November 25, 1913, the bishop of Tarnów, Ignacy Maciejowski, made a temporary consecration of the still unfinished building. The outbreak of World War I prevented further construction. It was only in November 1918 that the top of the tower was finished and the church was covered with copper sheet.

In 1662, a serious fire took place, in which the parish church was heavily damaged. From the original equipment, only the statue of the Virgin Mary with the Child has survived to modern times[2]. Services were held in the church of St. St. Bernard. The people of Grybów helped in the reconstruction of the church, donating money for this purpose. The newly built church was solemnly consecrated on May 10, 1705 by the suffragan bishop of Kraków, Kazimierz Łubieński.
