Unfortunately, there is no mention of the construction of the church in Radostowo, whether it was built before the Union of Brest is also unknown.

But since the time of the Union in 1569 there are already references to the church in Radostowo as a Uniate church.

After 1839, all Uniate churches were handed over to the Orthodox. The old church was later destroyed.

In 1862 an Orthodox church was built in its place.
