The Church of the Holy Trinity in Żeliszew Podkościelne was built of pine wood on a rectangular plan in the years 1770-1777. The first church in Żeliszew existed already in the first half of the 16th century, but it was burned down during the Swedish Deluge. The parish of the Holy Trinity was established in 1769. The current church was built thanks to the foundation of a local heir. In 1906, most of the village residents converted to Mariavitism - it was then that they occupied the church. A year later, by court order, they had to leave the temple.

The church is of log construction, with three naves separated by cast iron columns and a chancel separated from the main nave. There are two chapels on its sides. In the years 1907-1910, i.e. during the renovation, the church also gained two sacristies. It was then that the ceiling was covered with illusionistic paintings with rich ornamentation. The interior is well lit with natural light thanks to the fact that the main nave is higher than the side naves, and the windows were placed above their roofs.

The belfry next to the church is "younger", it was placed here in 1951. There is a certain story associated with the bells. During each wartime turmoil, the church bells were melted down to make cannons. In 1794, the bells from the previous church were given to the Kościuszko insurgents. Also during the November Uprising, the parish offered its bells to the Polish army. The next bells were requisitioned in 1915. The Germans stole them for the last time in 1941. The current bells were consecrated in 1957 and bear the names of Jakub and Franciszek.
