A hall church of granite ashlar in Żelichów from the second half of the 13th century, with a tower raised in the 19th century.
The Church of Our Lady Queen of the Polish Crown in Żelichów, in Cedynia municipality, was built in the second half of the 13th century. It is a branch church of the parish in Klępicz (the Church of St Stanislaus in Klępicz). It was built of granite ashlar as a hall church on a rectangular plan measuring 13.7 by 8 m.
On the west side stands a tower of the same width as the nave. It kept its original form only up to the height of the nave; higher up it was raised in the 19th century in brick and wooden construction. In the east elevation the trace of three narrow pointed windows can be seen, of which the middle one has been bricked up. The gable is decorated with three pointed blind arches, above them is an oculus, and the top is crowned with a Maltese cross. In the south elevation a fragment of the reveal of the original portal has survived.
Around the church is the area of a former cemetery surrounded by a stone wall. After the war the church was consecrated as a Catholic one in 1946. In the area stands the Church of St James the Apostle in Golice.
