The village was established in 1328. In 1768, the residents erected a Catholic chapel (used also by Mennonites), which burned down in 1778 and was not rebuilt. The sources from 1776 mentioned 63 Mennonite surnames: Claassen, Dick, Ens, Epp, Esau, Friesen, Goertz, Ginter, Hamm, Jantzen,, Kraecker, Lepp, Loewen, Mantler, Neufeld, Olfert, Pauls, Peterckau, Penner, Peters, Quiring, Rahn, Raderkampf, Reimer, Rempel, Rompel, Schulz, Steffen, Tiessen, Teows, Wall, Warkentin, Wies, and Zacharias, among others. In 1820, Żelichów and Pendelmuehle was inhabited by 366 residents, including 208 Mennonites. The petition from 1868 was signed by Jacob Wienp - a resident of the village. At the time, the village had 87 włókas and 4 morgas of land, 60 houses, 472 residents, including 143 Mennonites.

Village layout - a flood bank Waldhufendorf village on the eastern bank of the Tuga.

The cultural landscape has partially survived with a detectable spatial layout, the Tuga flood bank, a road running along the flood bank, and homesteads located on terpy. The village still has 8 Dutch homesteads, including those with replaced buildings, 7 wooden houses from the 19th century, 4 brick buildings from the beginning of the 20th century, and detectable field layout and a system of draining canals in the eastern section of the village.

A building without a number is a relic of a longitudinal Dutch homestead situated in the southern section of the village, on the western side of the road, facing it with its ridge. The house was erected in the mid 1800s and has a log structure with covered quoins, dovetail halvings at corners, and a vertically boarded wooden porch (east side). The interior has a 2-bay layout with a wider eastern bay, the large room in the southeastern corner, a black kitchen in the large room bay, an L-shaped bipartite hallway. The building was modified after 1945; later, it burned down.&
No. 17 is a longitudinal (or modified angular) Dutch homestead with contemporary farming buildings situated in the southern section of the village, on the eastern side of the road, facing it with its gable. The house dates from the 3rd quarter of the 19th century and has a log structure with quoins covered by boards imitating Tuscan pilaster, a vertically boarded gable, a rafter - collar beam roof structure, and a ceramic roof. The gable elevation has 3 axes, a 2-level gable with 2 rectangular windows enclosed by smaller windows, and a semicircular skylight above. The northern elevation has 6 axes with a porch in the 3 eastern axes.
No. 22 is an angular Dutch homestead with a cowshed (beginning of the 20th century) separated from the residential section by a fire wall; a barn has been demolished. The homestead is situated in the northern section of the village, on the eastern side of the road, facing it with its gable. The house was erected (modified) in the 4th quarter of the 19th century and has a high, stone underpinning, a log structure with quoins covered by boards imitating Tuscan pilaster, a vertically boarded gable and pointing sill, a queen post - purlin roof structure, and a ceramic roof. The gable wall has 2 axes, a 2-level gable with 2 rectangular windows enclosed by quarter circular skylights, and a semicircular skylight above. The finial is decorated with a grid. The northern elevation has 6 axes with an open porch in front of an entrance located in the 3rd axis from the west.
