A granite filial church from the late 13th century in Widuchowa municipality, rebuilt from a ruin in 1977-1979.
The Church of St Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr in Żarczyn was built at the end of the 13th century of dressed granite. After 1945 it fell into ruin, but it was rebuilt and today functions as a filial church of the parish in Krzywin.
The rebuilding took place in 1977-1979, and the consecration was performed on 9 September 1979 by Bishop Jan Gałecki. The building has a rectangular plan measuring 27.8 × 11.6 m. In the 19th century a Neo-Gothic tower with a pyramidal spire was added above the western part of the nave. The west wall has a portal with three steps, and next to it a smaller one, with two steps, with a built-in stone bearing a mason's mark in the form of a chequerboard; a similar stone is in the south-east corner. The east elevation has three slender pointed windows. The former furnishings have not survived. Around the church stands the stone wall of the former cemetery.
It is about 3 km as the crow flies to the church in Kłodowo.
