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 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.

Beautiful brick church. In the back there is a huge oak tree, almost 550 years old.

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

Consent for the construction of the first church in the village was issued on May 24, 1547. The parish of st. Stanisław Bishop Martyr in Nowy Lubiel was erected by the bishop of Płock Andrzej Noskowski on September 9, 1547. The founder of the church and parish was Anna Nowodworska, the owner of the Lubiel village. The temple burnt down on July 17, 1775, but two years later, the second church was erected in its place, founded by one of the successive owners of Lubiel, Adam Nowodworski, head of the Różan church. The church survived until 1890, when the local parish priest, Fr. Józef Dmochowski, proceeded to build a larger temple. The old church building was enclosed with new walls and a roof and was only demolished when the new church was finished. It took place on November 9, 1890. At the same time, a wooden belfry was also built on the church grounds surrounded by a concrete openwork fence on a stone foundation made of fieldstone. The wooden presbytery located to the north-east of the church was also built a little later, around 1926 (probably in 1924-1928). The church survived both world wars without damage, and has been renovated successively since the second half of the 19th century. 1990s on the initiative of the local parish priest.

Until recently, it was a heavily worn-out railway station building. From September 3, 2022, an officially opened information, communication technology and education center has been operating here. Inside, there are modern, interactive and computerized laboratories devoted to, among others, robotics, technology and art.
