The village is mentioned in the documents of the XIV century. The territory of Hlybotskyi and neighboring Hertsaivskyi districts is rich in ancient monuments of religious architecture. It is in the villages of these two districts that the oldest archaic wooden churches of the "house" type and a number of valuable monuments of stone architecture are located.

The Zdvyzhenska wooden church in Verkhni Synivtsi is one of the relatively young churches of this group in the Hlyboka district. Erected in 1790 on the site of an old wooden church built in the mid-15th century by Moldovan ruler Stefan the Great, it is a typical example of a Bukovyna domeless church with relatively high walls, the wood of which is painted blue, and a pitched roof supported by brackets.
