An interesting place to visit. I recommend it.

The history of the railway in Ostrołęka dates back to 1893, when a railway connection was launched with Małkinia and Łapy, and consequently with Warsaw and Białystok. In September 2007, the direct Ostrołęka–Warsaw and Warsaw–Ostrołęka railway connections were relaunched. Then, in March 2024, the Ostrołęka–Białystok connections (2 pairs) were restored, and in December 2024, the direct Ostrołęka–Olsztyn connection (1 pair). The current station building was built during the interwar period, but for a short time after the war, the station was moved about 200 meters away (towards the village of Tobolice) to a small brick building.

The project was designed by architect Marek Pęza. The new facility was officially unveiled on September 20, 2015, during the celebration of the Regiment's holiday. Its cost was 70 thousand złoty. The construction was financed entirely by donations from companies and individuals. The 5th Zasław Uhlan Regiment was stationed in Wojciechowice near Ostrołęka in the years 1921-1939. It fought the September Campaign as part of the Podlasie Cavalry Brigade.

The history of our parish begins on June 30, 1993, with the decree of Bishop Juliusz Paetz appointing Father Tadeusz Zawadzki responsible for organizing a new pastoral center on the “Centrum” Housing Estate. During the Christmas caroling (from December 1993 to February 1994), Fathers Tadeusz Zawadzki (vicar of the parish of St. Anthony) and Mirosław Sebunia (vicar of the parish of the Savior of the World) visited 2,023 families, asking for their opinion on the plans to create a new parish. 1,538 families (76%) were in favor of the idea, while 485 were against it. On March 9, 1994, the first plots of land for the construction of a church were purchased from Mr. Wiesław Chełstowski, Mr. Eugeniusz Wargulewski and Mrs. Krystyna Choroszewska. On March 30, a decision on the location of the new church was obtained from the City Office. The temporary designs for the chapel and rectory were prepared by an engineer from Ostrów Mazowiecka – Mr. Mirosław Puścian.

At the railwayman's square you can see an old narrow-gauge locomotive. On the other side of the square there is a rebuilt railway station where the multi center is located. I recommend

The Nowogród section was part of the defense line stretching along the Narew and Biebrza rivers, the responsibility of maintaining which was entrusted to the Independent Operational Group "Narew" (hereinafter SGO Narew) under the command of Brig. Gen. Czesław Młot-Fijałkowski. The defense belt of SGO Narew was divided into the sections: "Ostrołęka", "Nowogród", "Łomża", "Wizna", "Osowiec" and "Augustów". Nowogród was located on one of the expected main directions of the enemy's attack, led from East Prussia. The task of the "Nowogród" section was to defend the crossing in Nowogród and to defend along the line of the Narew river from the town of Szablak - Mątwica (on the eastern flank) to the line between the settlements of Parzychy and Sulimy (on the western flank). In specific terrain conditions, a tactical and defensive plan had to be prepared, which required: http://hauba.pl/odcinek-nowogrod/

Between September 5 and 10, 1939, the vicinity of Nowogród was the scene of fierce defensive battles, the importance of which was overshadowed by the legendary, but in fact much less effective, defense of nearby Wizna. A memento of those days is a complex of several combat shelters scattered in the river valley between Szablak and the bridge in Nowogród. The most famous and the easiest to find is the bunker by the aforementioned road bridge, where the reconstruction of defensive fights has been taking place for several years. Decorated with a commemorative plaque, it now serves as a monument. As every year, on August 5, 2010, historical reenactment groups from all over the country recalled the heroic defense of this section against the advancing overwhelming force of the enemy.

The Kurpian Open Air Museum in Nowogród was opened on June 19, 1927 as the Kurpian Museum. It belongs to the two oldest museums of folk architecture in Poland. The collection of about 3,000 exhibits came mainly from Adam Chętnik's private funds and was related to the Green Kurpiowska Forest. During World War II, the museum, like all of Novgorod, was destroyed. Only two stumps of several hundred-year-old beehive trees and a gate made of pine trunks, which was the entrance to the then museum from the river side, have survived.
