    Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St. Margaret Maria Alacoque
    Żelistrzewo - a Kashubian village in Poland located in the Pomeranian Province, Puck County, Puck Commune. In the years 1973–1976, the town was the seat of the Żelistrzewo commune. In the years 1975–1998, the town administratively belonged to the Gdańsk Province. During the Prussian partition, the village was called Sellistrau in Germany

      According to the professor of the University of Gdańsk, Jerzy Treder, the name Żelistrzewo consists of two parts: "Żeli" and "Stryjewo" and it is listed for the first time in 1277 as Zelistryewo (then Z was not marked with a dot, although Z was pronounced). Professor A. Bruchner in the Etymological Dictionary of the Polish Language writes: In the fifteenth century, and even in the sixteenth century, there was still a "gel" - regret, "regret" - a widower mourning his wife. There may also be "żalinki" - cemeteries, places where regrets were revealed. Perhaps there was an ancient pre-Slavic cemetery in Żelistrzewo or near the village; "Regret" also means the same as an urn (regret - embers). "Uncle" means a relative after the father. Already in the 16th century, the coat of arms became important in our country. Ancestral solidarity was expressed in the "brothers-nobles", especially on the part of the uncles. In biblical language: uncle, strikers, strics. The favorable wind and the forest were also called uncle when it became a refuge in the last need. There are remnants of ancient forests around the Ironwood. Perhaps, then, there was "Żelnik" - a cemetery, or "gel" where urns with ashes were stored in pagan times, and the cemetery was hidden in the nearby forests.
