The Kuflew estate in 1842 was brought as a dowry by Weronika Korzbok-Łącka to her marriage with Bronisław Dąbrowski - the son of the famous General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski. In February 1846, Kuflew became the scene of an unsuccessful attempt to provoke a nationwide uprising. A commemoration of these events is the monumental monument to St. Anthony erected in 1864, a year after the outbreak of the January Uprising - undoubtedly, apart from personal intentions, it had a hidden national and liberation intention.

The Jedlina Nature Reserve in the Mazovian Voivodeship is a small but unique protected area dominated by a natural fir forest – a rarity in this part of Poland. It is a great place for a quiet bike or hike, especially for lovers of nature and silence. The reserve's paths lead through dense forests, where you can meet various species of birds and wild animals. The route is not demanding, but it is worth having solid footwear or a bike adapted to forest paths. In autumn, the forest delights with its colors and is an ideal place for observing nature.

The belfry next to the church is "younger", it was placed here in 1951. There is a certain story associated with the bells. During each wartime turmoil, the church bells were melted down to make cannons. In 1794, the bells from the previous church were given to the Kościuszko insurgents. Also during the November Uprising, the parish offered its bells to the Polish army. The next bells were requisitioned in 1915. The Germans stole them for the last time in 1941. The current bells were consecrated in 1957 and bear the names of Jakub and Franciszek.

The church is of log construction, with three naves separated by cast iron columns and a chancel separated from the main nave. There are two chapels on its sides. In the years 1907-1910, i.e. during the renovation, the church also gained two sacristies. It was then that the ceiling was covered with illusionistic paintings with rich ornamentation. The interior is well lit with natural light thanks to the fact that the main nave is higher than the side naves, and the windows were placed above their roofs. The ceiling of the church makes a huge impression above all. It is covered with illusionistic paintings and coffers with rosettes. It is impossible to tell what is painted and what is real. In the chancel there are three beautiful, oak, twentieth-century altars. In the main altar there is a painting of the Assumption of the Mother of God. The Rococo altars in the chapels from around 1770 are also beautiful. In the right one there is a painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary Immaculate Conception, while in the left one – an eighteenth-century sculpture of the Crucified Christ, once surrounded by worship. This is evidenced by the numerous votive offerings hanging around the cross. The organ prospect also comes from that year. The church's equipment also includes two beautiful, historic feretrons, two Rococo confessionals, a baptismal font in the shape of a chalice and eighteenth-century paintings from the school of Szymon Czechowicz. One of them – the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary decorates the wall of the presbytery, and the other – the Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus is hung next to the organ.

The Church of the Holy Trinity in Żeliszew Podkościelne was built of pine wood on a rectangular plan in the years 1770-1777. The first church in Żeliszew existed already in the first half of the 16th century, but it was burned down during the Swedish Deluge. The parish of the Holy Trinity was established in 1769. The current church was built thanks to the foundation of a local heir. In 1906, most of the village residents converted to Mariavitism - it was then that they occupied the church. A year later, by court order, they had to leave the temple.

In Chlewiska there is a complex of the House of Creative Work "Reymontówka". The focal point is a historic manor house, built in the mid-19th century for the Różański family on the foundations of the previous one, dated 1807. The next owner of the estate was the famous ichthyologist Józef Helbich, who established fish ponds here. In 1926, the manor house together with 300 ha of land was bought by Władysław Reymont's widow, Aurelia, who allocated part of the money from the Nobel Prize that the writer received for the novel Chłopi (The Peasants) for this purpose. During her time, Chlewiska experienced the period of greatest splendor, including the addition of the eastern part of the manor house, a gardener's cottage and a new entrance gate with a fence in the Podhale style. On the orders of Aurelia Reymontowa, the park and garden were also tidied up, and a People's House for peasants was created in one of the buildings. In 1939, the manor house and its estate were bought by Feliks Tymieniecki, president of the coal company "Węgloblok". After several changes of ownership, the manor and park complex was purchased in 1981 by the Voivodeship Office in Siedlce. A House of Creative Work was established here, which is currently owned by the District Office in Siedlce. On May 20, 2007, "Reymontówka" celebrated the 200th anniversary of the manor house. On this occasion, a bust of Władysław Reymont was unveiled, designed by Jerzy Necl.
