In the village there is a wooden parish church of St. Isidore from 1840, moved from Janów in the years 1936-1938, at that time the construction works of the church were supervised by Father Kazimierz Gwiazda, vicar from Przasnysz, and the temple was consecrated by his uncle, Father Józef Piekut.

In the town of Skierkowizna, there is the Parish of St. Andrew Bobola. The church in Skierkowizna is one of the youngest historic temples in Mazovia. In the 19th century, the faithful from Skierkowizna, in order to get to their parish church in Przasnysz, had to travel 15 km one way. In order to create better conditions for them to reach the church, Fr. Kazimierz Gwiazda - the then vicar from Przasnysz decided to build a temple. The church was brought from Janów. In the 1930s, a brick church was built there, and the previous wooden one turned out to be unnecessary. In 1936, Fr. Kazimierz Gwiazda bought the building from the Janów parish and transported it to Skierkowizna, placing it on donated land. The church itself (as a building) is 100 years old - it was built in 1917, the year of the apparitions in Fatima. The parish was established in September 1938 by the then bishop of Płock, Blessed Antoni Julian Nowowiejski, a martyr from Dachau. The parish owes its amazing appearance to the late Father Sylwester Szadkowski, a former parish priest who worked here for 36 years. Modeled on the wooden highland churches in the Tatras, Father Sylwester created one of the most beautiful wooden churches in Poland – called the "wooden basilica" or "wooden cathedral". https://parafia-skierkowizna.pl/historia-parafii-i-kosciola/

For me, this is a very, very interesting place that can be considered an "attraction". After all, instead of this square, you could have pointed to a sacred object and written something about it.

Great square around the church. It seems too big for an extremely sleepy town. A good place to relax in a hammock or on the grass.

It is an oblong hill that protrudes a few meters above the rest of the area, here very low and often flooded in spring by the waters of the Orzyc and its small tributaries. We also advise against visiting Łysa Góra in early spring or wet autumn - unless someone likes to wet their shoes properly. Now the question arises why it is worth visiting this place. The most important reason is that Łysa Góra is the place where the first traces of human presence were found in the Chorzel region. Today, this hill is entered in the register of monuments, and in archaeological catalogs it is listed as the site of Rembielin.
