A small wooden temple stands just above the Bug, on a high bank overgrown with old trees. Built in 1683 as the Uniate Church of St Demetrios the Martyr, it has served as an Orthodox church since 1875, when the union was dissolved.

Since 1919 it has been a Catholic church of St George (now a branch of the neighbouring Neple parish). Located by the church is a 1832 tombstone of the owner of Krzyczew, Marianna Bogusławska and an old Uniate cemetery is located in the manor park. The manor house and an outbuilding in Krzyczew date back to the 19th century. The village also preserved wooden buildings from the beginning of the 20th century, including a 1921 ‘koźlak’-type windmill.
