The history of the parish church in Goźlic, dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, dates back to the first half of the 12th century. Its founder was either from the noble Dunin family, who were powerful in the region during the reign of Bolesław III Wrymouth, or from the noble Ossoliński, who used the church later as their burial site. Two Tartar invasions (1241 and 1259) took a heavy toll on the local population. After the death of Bolesław V the Chaste in 1279, the area was taken over by Leszek II the Black. Lew Halicki, at the head of a huge army, tried to conquer the district. However, in Goźlice his way was blocked by Polish knights. The bloody battle took place in February 1280. Apparently, 8,000 people died there. The invaders destroyed the church in Goźlice, which got rebuilt. The church has a single nave. Subsequent alterations and reconstructions resulted in its original style being largely obliterated. During WWI the church burned down in 1915. Another fire consumed it in 1945. Reconstruction of the church was carried out in 1946-48. The wild boar´s head looks like it comes from a coat of arms
