The Holy Sepulchers of Jerusalem were brought here and given property by the knight Jaksa after his return from the Holy Land, to which he had set out in 1162. It contributed to the flourishing of these lands and the development of the Monastery of the Holy Sepulchre, to which pilgrims from all over Europe flocked. In the 13th century, Chodów was an outpost of the parish of Miechów, subordinate to the monastery of the Holy Sepulchre. Towards the end of the 14th century, the bishop of Kraków, Zawisza of Kurozwęki, with his brother Krzesław, castellan of Sącz and heir to the village of Chodów, founded a parish and built a wooden church between 1379 and 1381. In 1404, the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre bought Chodów from its owners, the castellan of Wojnicz, Jan, and his brother Mikołaj, and continued to provide pastoral care there until the order's dissolution in 1819. When the first church burnt down, a new wooden church was built thanks to the parson Stanisław of Wyszogród in 1619. After another fire in 1720, a modest wooden church was erected by the parson Baltazar Wróblewski. When it burnt down in 1931, a brick church was built on the new site in 1932 and consecrated in 1939.

The church has a nave ending in a semicircular apse and two side aisles. There are three altars: a stone statue of Christ Crucified on the main altar and statues of St Joseph with the Child and Our Lady of the Rosary on the side altars. The windows are filled with stained glass featuring saint figures and the Stations of the Cross are placed on the walls. In the porch is a portrait of Mikołaj Raj (a resident recognised as a local hero who, in the early 19th century, went with a letter to the Tsar's governor to obtain permission to establish a parish) and a large wrought-iron cross of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre.
