The building was erected as a military Orthodox church in Warsaw, then part of the Kingdom of Poland within the Russian Empire. The monument register dates it to 1867; according to Polish Wikipedia, the literature also gives another dating — 1903–1906, when the Church of St Martinian was built for the Life Guards Uhlan Regiment to a design by Leonty Benois, with 70 of the 76 thousand roubles coming from a state grant. After 1915 the church was not in use; between the wars it was the garrison church of the 1st Chevau-léger Regiment, and since 1945 it has belonged to the Polish Catholic Church.
Здание построено как военная православная церковь в Варшаве, входившей тогда в Царство Польское в составе Российской империи. Реестр памятников датирует его 1867 годом; по данным польской Википедии, в литературе есть и другая датировка — 1903–1906 годы, когда храм Святого Мартиниана был возведён для лейб-гвардии Уланского полка по проекту Леонтия Бенуа, причём 70 из 76 тысяч рублей составила государственная дотация. После 1915 года церковь не действовала, в межвоенные годы была гарнизонным костёлом 1-го полка шеволежеров, с 1945 года принадлежит Польскокатолической церкви.
