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.

Benedictine Church in Drohiczyn, dedicated to All Saints – a church belonging to the Benedictine Sisters. In 1621, Wojciech Niemira brought Benedictine Sisters from Toruń to the church dedicated to All Saints, which had existed since 1560. The building was built between 1734 and 1738, funded by Wiktoryn Kuczyński. The Benedictines taught girls from the nobility. Despite restrictions, the Benedictines of Drohiczyn continued their educational activities until the order was dissolved in 1865. By the end of the 19th century, the monastery and church had fallen into serious disrepair. It was then that Krystyn Ostrowski, the owner of the neighboring village of Korczew, began efforts to rebuild the Benedictine church and convent. In 1919, the Committee for the Reconstruction of the Church and Monastery of the Benedictine Sisters was established. Thanks to its efforts, the vaults were renovated, windows were installed, and floors were laid during the interwar period. During the interwar period, the prefect of the Drohicze high school, Father Kazimierz Dobrzycki, took charge of the reconstruction. During this time, the church served as a school church. The building features a Rococo façade.

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
