The Roman Catholic parish of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Stryj was founded in the mid-14th century during the reign of Casimir III the Great. The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Stryj was founded in the mid-14th century during the reign of King Casimir III the Great. The equipment of the first parish church was funded by King Władysław Jagiełło in 1427. It was rebuilt and repaired several times. The worst fire (1886) led to its ruin and the complete destruction of its valuable furnishings.

The reconstruction of the church, designed by J. Zachariewicz, took five years and was completed in 1891. One of these is the late Renaissance portal adorning the façade of the church chapel.

In connection with the works carried out on it under the programme of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the POLONIKA Institute undertook to finance the conservation of the 17th-century grilles placed in the windows of the portal. As part of the conservation work carried out, the bars were disinfected and cleaned of secondary layers. Broken bars were glued together and large cavities were filled in. The surface of the objects was then protected against further degradation.
