The history of the parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary dates back to the 13th century. The last wooden church burned down in 1660, probably after being struck by lightning.
The owner of Suserz, Jerzy Skarżyński, fulfilling the will of his uncle Józef Skarżyński, built a brick church and placed the painting of the Virgin Mary with Child, "gloried in graces throughout the entire area", in the main altar. The painting, painted on a board in tempera in the style of Italian painting, is covered with a silver dress. Angels support two crowns, and the little Christ blesses with one hand and holds a cobalt globe in the other.
When a dangerous cholera epidemic appeared in 1852 and entire families were dying, and doctors were helpless, the residents of Żychlin came on a pilgrimage to the painting of the Virgin Mary of Suserz, begging on their knees for the averting of this terrible plague. They then made an oath: "If the Mother of God intercedes for God's salvation, they will come here continuously for 100 years on foot on August 15th, to give thanks, praise God and bear witness to the truth." The epidemic soon died out. Even the dangerous times of the Nazi occupation did not stop the pilgrims from making the pilgrimage to Suserz. They prayed in front of a closed church converted into a warehouse. The parish priest, Józef Chyczewski, was arrested by the Germans, taken to the concentration camp in Dachau and murdered there.
