Narrow-gauge steam locomotive Px48-1253 transferred by the Narrow-Gauge Railway Museum in Sochaczew as a deposit to the Władysław St. Reymont Regional Museum in Lipce Reymontowskie. The agreement between the two museums is valid until 2030. The locomotive, manufactured in 1955 in FABLOK in Chrzanów, has been exhibited on the premises of the open-air museum in Sochaczew since 1991. Previously, it had worked for many years on the tracks of the Bieszczady Forest Railway.

The first wooden church of the Holy Cross was founded around 1350 by the metropolitan archbishop of Gniezno, Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki. In the second half of the 14th century, a parish was established next to it. The construction of the church, which serves the faithful to this day, began in 1865 thanks to the efforts of the then parish priest, Fr. Józef Marmo, and was finally completed in 1870. It was built of brick and field stone. In 1930, under the supervision of Fr. Józef Kostrzewski, the church was expanded, which took on the shape of a cross: a presbytery, two chapels and two sacristies were added. It was consecrated by the metropolitan archbishop of Gniezno and Warsaw, Stefan Cardinal Wyszyński, the primate of Poland, in 1967. The church is maintained in the Vistula Gothic style, and has four altars. The main altar, in the neo-Gothic style, wall-mounted, three-axis, with two niches on the sides. In its center is a Baroque crucifix. In the side altar there is a painting of Our Lady of the Scapular from 1794, with dresses in the Regency style, and two Rococo sculptures: St. Adalbert and St. Stanislaus. The second side altar is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of the Lord Jesus. Opposite is an altar with an image of St. Roch. The organs in the temple are modern. The pulpit from the first half of the 20th century is worthy of attention.

Cemetery Chapel of St. Joseph in Lipce Reymontowskie. The historic chapel built in 1860 is located on the grounds of the historic cemetery on Reymonta Street. The building was entered into the register of monuments on April 8, 1950. The chapel is of log construction, oriented, built of larch wood. Inside there is a choir supported by two wooden columns, a 17th-century organ and a main altar in the Rococo style. For the first 10 years, the wooden chapel served as a parish church. At the same time, construction of a new brick temple of the Finding of the Holy Cross began.

The Arboretum of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences is one of the largest gardens of this type in Poland. It is an organizational unit of the Forest Experimental Station in Rogów, which also includes the Nature and Forest Education Center, the Rogów Forest District and a nursery farm. It is located in a former forest habitat and has the character of a forest park. It contains some of the richest and most interesting collections of trees and shrubs in Central and Eastern Europe. The whole is complemented by forest experimental areas with foreign species of forest trees and an alpine garden.
