Historical outline
Stebnik is located near Truskavets, south-east of Drohobych. The oldest records of this village date back to the first half of the 15th century. Already a century later it was famous for its salt mine, which operated here until the inter-war period.

Before a Roman-Catholic church was established in Stebník, masses of this rite were celebrated in the local Greek-Catholic church. Initially, the village was under the authority of the parish in Drohobych, and later under that of Truskavets. The church was built in 1894, most probably according to the project of F. Sanetski. Sanecky. Its consecration took place in the same year.

The First World War spared the building. At one point only the bell was confiscated. After World War II, the building was used as a vegetable shop. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was converted into an Orthodox church. The original character of the architecture has been completely obliterated. No photographs exist either. We only know about the shape and form of the building from surviving sketches.

Architecture
The church (now a heavily reconstructed Orthodox church) was located on the main road leading through the village. The nave was built on the plan of a short rectangle. The single-span chancel, narrower than the nave and facing west, was enclosed in a triangular shape.

The exterior elevations were not articulated. There were only low buttresses at the corners of the nave. The portal was topped with an overhanging canopy. The façade was dominated by an octagonal turret (square in plan) closed with a pyramidal cupola. The roof over the nave was gabled and the roof over the chancel was multi-pitched. All the roofs, apart from the tin helmet of the turret, were tiled.

The music choir was accessible via a staircase in the corner of the nave. The interior was covered with a ceiling and the floor was concrete. The building was completely rebuilt. Its original structure is unreadable today. There is also no data on the fate of the original furnishings.
