The first mention of the village comes from 1321 as Tzelchów. Czołkhov then appears in the village register from 1375. The village had then 40 farmers and 3 parishes. The name comes from the Slavic language and refers to the settlement of a certain Sulecha.
The Zollchow Church is a simple rectangular hall with a square and timbered roof tower to the west. Its walls were built of regularly hewn blocks of field stone. The foot is surrounded by a slightly protruding base, the top of which is sloped. On the north side there is a brick plastered hall. It seems that the church may have been completely plastered in the meantime. Windows with brick jambs are late gothic or neo gothic.
The floor plan, and especially the brickwork, clearly indicate the 13th century. Destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, it was still abandoned in 1687. Visible changes, such as the enlargement of the windows with their brick soffits, the re-erection of gables and screens to the east, probably occurred mainly during the reconstruction of the ruins. This seems to have happened in the 17th century as the top of the tower dates back to around 1694. The sandstone sundial in the eastern part of the southern front is from the 18th century, as is the altar of the pulpit inside.
