The cemetery is the resting place of about 800 Polish soldiers of the "Poznań" Army and the "Pomorze" Army, who fell in September 1939, primarily between the 16th and 18th of September, during battles after the Battle of the Bzura River. Units of the 7th Greater Poland Uhlan Regiment and the 14th Jazłowiec Uhlan Regiment fought here, among others. After the battles on the Bzura River, Polish units attempted to break through the Kampinos Forest towards Warsaw. Very heavy fighting occurred in the Zamość, Górki, and Cisowy area. Many soldiers died right here.

To commemorate the heroic struggle, the Monument to the Defenders of Modlin from September 1939 was erected. The unveiling was performed by the commander of the 1939 Modlin defense, Brigadier General Wiktor Thommee, in the presence of numerous soldiers from his September campaign. The ceremony took place on September 29, 1957, the anniversary of the surrender of Modlin Fortress. The initiative to build the monument came from the command of the 15th Bomber Division, and its design was presented by Sergeant Ryszard Lasota, a non-commissioned officer of the Military Police. Two Soviet cannons were added to the monument. The motive was the Red Army's participation in the liberation of Modlin from Nazi occupation. The monument was erected on the site of a monument to Marshal Józef Piłsudski, unveiled in 1928, which was destroyed only in the early 1950s when the Marshal's bust and baton were removed from its pedestal. Until the unveiling of the next monument, this place was forgotten and neglected.

It is a three-story defensive gate dating from 1836, with a central passageway above ground level. During World War I or earlier, a second passageway was constructed in this gate. Later, the narrow-gauge railway tracks were laid through it, running along the Narew River. On the exterior, the gate was equipped with pairs of embrasures on both sides of the passageway on the ground floor and six artillery axes on the first floor. The parapets of all the embrasures are made of stone. The interior of the "Ostrołęcka" Gate features classical architectural features. On this side, the second floor features three semicircular windows, and the arched passageway is framed by pairs of Ionic pilasters. Source: https://www.nowydwormaz.pl/100,brama-ostrolecka

An artillery tower built around 1900 on a J-shaped plan, made of brick with stone detailing, known as the "elevator" (elevator). Located on the Vistula River, it was two and three stories high, originally covered with earth, now with a roof. On the inner side (courtyard), rooms were designated as soldiers' quarters; on the outer side, these rooms were the combat section of the tower, where cannons could be positioned if necessary. Since there was no military activity during the Russians' stay in the Novogiergievsk Fortress, the Russians converted it into a grain warehouse (elevator) to utilize it. Together with the mill, flour warehouse, and bakery, they formed the so-called "supply line." Source: https://Twierdzamodlin.pl/Twierdza-modlin/najciekawsze-budowle/#elewator
