Summary/Abstract: The origins of Skrzatusz go back in time to the 15. century. Probably at that time there was built the first wooden shrine. As an independent parish it ciesed to exist during the Reformation. In 1602 Skrzatusz was detached to the parish in Walcz (Wałcz). Again it became an independent parish in 1660 thanks to bishop Wojciech Tolibowski. In 1575 a potter fetched the Pieta from Mielecino (Mielęcino) to Skrzatusz. Since then the parish church in Skrzatusz became a place of numerous pilgrimages. In years 1772 to 1945 the land of Walcz (Wałcz) including Skrzatusz was a part of the German state. The archival materials were given to the diocesan archive in Koszalin. There they were worked out and inventoried with signatures from 1 to 230. Nowadays they are available to professional historians, and also amateurs.
