The founder of St. Adalbert’s Church, Father Michał Sługocki, designated the funds for the church construction in his will of 1666. The wooden church was erected on the site of a former church, on the top of a hill. Based on the regular Greek cross plan, the building displayed characteristics of the Baroque style. The construction of the bell tower, as well as the renovation and a significant expansion of the church in 1731 was conducted by Daniel Kowalewski, the owner of the nearby village of Ługów. In the late 18^th century, the church was expanded even more, but this time the expansion was made of brick. In 1781 the church was reinforced with the new stone underpinnings and the southern sacristy was added. A few years later, the parish priest, Father Jan Odyński, extended the nave, which he ended with a façade, added brick walls to the front with the choir and a fire guardhouse. As a result of these works, the general plan of the church was transformed into the almost classical Latin cross plan. The rapidly increasing number of the parishioners, who needed more space in the church, necessitated the extension.

The high altar inside the church featured two paintings, The Transfiguration of Jesus and Jesus Dying on the Cross. The remaining altars were dedicated to Saints Adalbert, Nicholas, Ignatius, Stanislaus and Aloysius. The two side chapels also had altars. The Chapel of the Rosary featured the painting of Our Lady of the Rosary, while the other chapel boasted a painting of St. Leonard. The painting of the latter saint was ornamented with a copper-silver vestment. In 1650 Piotr Czerny, the then owner of Garbów, donated to the church a silver and gilded monstrance, studded with rubies and corals, which has been preserved and has served the parishioners of the church in Garbów until the present day.

A stand-alone bell tower, erected on the south side of the church, was unfortunately destroyed in the early 18^th century by the water sapping the foundations. Daniel Kowalewski, the owner of Ługi, founded the new bell tower, built on the opposite, north side of the church.

The hill used to be accessible via steps – stone at the bottom, wooden at the top, 136 steps in total. Nowadays, you have to climb up along the path on the steep slope, almost like in the mountains. Adjacent to the elevation is a loess ravine, which can take you to the road in the direction of Ożarów and to the old Garbów cemetery.

The wooden Church of St. Leonard initially occupied the site of the present Kościelisko. Three old and branchy lindens grew at the cemetery adjacent to the church. As a local legend has it, St. Leonard made an apparition on one of them. According to oral tradition, this was why a chapel dedicated to the saint was first erected there with his painting inside. Unfortunately, the painting did not have much luck: in the 18^th century, when the chapel was destroyed, the painting was transferred to St. Adalbert’s Church where it burnt down in 1915.
