Until the mid-17th century, there was a wooden church here. Around 1670, another wooden church was built in the immediate vicinity of the Bzura River. Due to frequent floods, it was moved to its current location in 1841. The temple built at the initiative of Father Józef Krawczykowski existed until 1916. It burned down during World War I. A wooden temple was built on the foundations of the old church in 1917. After World War II, it turned out to be too small for the growing community. In 1978, the then parish priest, Father Paweł Flaszczyński, unable to obtain the appropriate permits to build a new temple, undertook to build it with the help of the parishioners without consent or designs. On April 8, 1978, in one day, about one hundred and fifty parishioners built the walls of the new temple, enclosing the wooden church with them, which was then demolished. The construction works that had begun were continued despite the penalty imposed, and as a result, the church in its present form was built. It was consecrated on July 26, 1980 by the auxiliary bishop of Warsaw, Jerzy Modzelewski.

The first bridge over the Bzura in Kamion was built in 1915. It was a wooden structure of a temporary nature. After 9 years, the bridge was destroyed during the flood in 1924. It was rebuilt in the same year, but the ice embankments (elements protecting the bridge from flowing ice floes) were not made until the following year. The war that began in 1939 caused the destruction of five spans, which were later repaired by the Germans. Military operations in 1945 and the flowing ice floes in 1947 destroyed the bridge again, but in 1947 it was rebuilt by the State Road Bridge Reconstruction Directorate over the Vistula and Bzura near Wyszogród. In this form (during the last reconstruction it received steel girders) the bridge survived until 2010, when the flowing ice floes damaged it so much that vehicle traffic had to be significantly limited (to 3.5 tons and max. 2 m wide. The reconstruction, or rather construction from scratch, was carried out in the "Design and Build" system. It turned out to be necessary to rebuild the drainage, technical infrastructure devices and build traffic safety devices. The structure has four spans, is 160.5 m long and 9 m wide and has a load capacity that allows for the movement of vehicles weighing up to 80 tons. The contractor completed the work on October 30, 2012, while the ceremonial handover of the new bridge to the residents of Kamion and the Sochaczew district took place on January 2, 2013. The total cost of the works in Kamion amounted to PLN 14.7 million. The subsidy in the amount of PLN 6.8 million came from government funds for the removal of the effects of flooding, which was allocated by the Mazovian Voivode Jacek Kozłowski. The remaining funds in the amount of PLN 7.9 million were provided by the local government of the Mazovian Voivodeship.

The current late Baroque parish church in Wyszogród is the fourth in a row. The first church existed before 1320, closer to the Vistula. The next church was destroyed in 1726, when the riverside slope collapsed. The existing church was built from 1774 (or from 1779) on the foundations of the older one, which was destroyed by fire. These foundations were reinforced and slightly changed according to the design of the Gdańsk architect Samuel Fischer. The walls were completed in 1786 and this date was placed on the front elevation of the church. Probably in 1800 the new church was consecrated, and its name was changed from St. James to the Holy Trinity, as it is to this day. The church towers were completed and the interior furnishings were completed only after 1819. The towers themselves were added in 1837. In the second half In the 19th century the altar was rebuilt, using older elements. In 1942 the German occupiers closed the church and turned it into a grain granary.

It shows the remains of the Olender settlers in the Vistula valley. There is a former Evangelical church, a cemetery, a reconstructed village school and residential buildings with farm buildings. My inner onion grimaced at the thought that free admission ended in May and tickets cost PLN 15 (concession PLN 10).

The Vistula River Measurement Station of the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management. A shaded place ideal for rest, and also a great place to observe birds on the Vistula island (they are extremely active in this place).
