Branch church in Czerników of granite ashlar, from the second half of the 13th century, with a pulpit of 1598 and the coats of arms of the von Wedel and von Cranach families.
The Church of St Thérèse of the Child Jesus in Czerników, a branch of the parish in Golenice, was built in the second half of the 13th century of regularly laid granite ashlar. It is an oriented building on a rectangular plan (16.7 by 9 m), without a tower or choir, with walls up to 1.54 m thick. Narrow windows with semicircular arches give it a Romanesque character.
The east gable is divided by three blind niches, and in the south wall there is a trace of a bricked-up portal with stepped jambs. In the west gable are the coats of arms of the von Wedel and von Cranach families, carved in sandstone. In the interior, covered with a wooden ceiling, there are a niche of a former tabernacle and a pulpit of 1598. Under the east part is an inaccessible crypt. The church was burned in the first half of the 17th century and rebuilt without a tower, and a freestanding bell tower was added in 1828.
