The synagogue was built in 1880. In September 1939, the Germans destroyed the Skierniewice synagogue. Opposite the synagogue was the Jewish synagogue building belonging to the community, and there was also a Jewish primary school there. In 1946, the local Jewish committee transferred this building to a private person, who in return fenced the surviving remains of the devastated Skierniewice Jewish cemeteries. For many years, the synagogue housed workshops, a shop and apartments, and currently a household appliances store.

The Skierniewice City Park is a park located in the central part of the city on both sides of the Skierniewka (Łupia) River. The origins of the park date back to the 14th century. Initially, it was a garden at the archbishop's manor. The park contained cascades, grottos, gazebos, four ponds and terraces on the river bank during the time of Archbishop Antoni Kazimierz Ostrowski. The Skierniewice park was beautified by Ignacy Krasicki, making it similar to the parks in Smolany. In the 18th century, there was an orangery with orange trees, an Italian garden, orchards and vineyards at the Primate's Palace. In the years 1830–1845, the gardens and park were thoroughly rebuilt, creating a landscape park.

The first station building was built in 1845, the second in 1873, in the English Gothic style with neoclassical interiors, to welcome the Tsar of Russia, who was visiting his residence near Skierniewice. The station building burned down in 1914, renovated according to the plans of Jan F. Heurich, and renovated between 1980 and 2003 in accordance with conservation requirements (plaster on the facades was removed, and the brickwork of the walls was exposed). On August 1, 1944, German Bahnschutz officers burned a wagon at the station containing the bodies of prisoners who had been suffocated during a transport from Pawiak. As it turned out, among the dead were also living people hiding among the dead, posing as corpses in hopes of avoiding transport to a concentration camp. A monument to Stanisław Wokulski, designed by Robert Sobociński, was erected on the platform in 2010.
