The parish church in Klucz belongs to three wooden temples of the parish of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Although the exact time of their construction is not known, they are united by the year 1748, in which all were thoroughly rebuilt or erected anew. The characteristic feature of the churches is a uniform appearance with a low tower embedded in the structure, which distinguishes them from other wooden sacred objects in the Opole province. Klucz is also known for traditional flower carpets laid by residents on Corpus Christi, which adorn the route of the procession. The church in Klucz is located in the central part of the village, on a rise, in the vicinity of a historic rectory and a modern bell tower. It is a wooden, Baroque temple erected in log-cabin construction. A rectangular nave connects to a presbytery closed off on three sides, and from the west a tower adjoins it. On the sides are a sacristy with a choir loft on the upper floor and a porch. Above the eastern part of the nave rises a polygonal, distinctive belfry tower. The interior is covered with a flat ceiling with facets above the presbytery. Polychromy discovered in 2003 depicts the Holy Cross against a sky background and four Church Doctors -- Saints Augustine, Jerome, Ambrose, and Gregory, surrounded by fields with plant ornament. The furnishings include late Baroque altars, Gothic and Baroque sculptures, a pulpit, a baptismal font, a confessional, pews, and eighteenth-century paintings.
