Attractions and Places To See around gmina Siennica - Top 20

The brickyard in Radzin was established around 1850 as part of the local manor. Initially, bricks were produced solely for the manor's needs, but over time the plant expanded its operations – residents of the surrounding villages began to buy bricks. In 1928, the characteristic brick chimney, towering over the trees, was erected, which dominated the area for years. Residential barracks for workers and their families were also built at the plant. The construction of the massive structures, especially between 1890 and 1930, was a laborious process involving the precise manual laying of hundreds of bricks, layer by layer, on increasingly higher wooden scaffolding. Specialist bricklayers, often risking their lives without adequate safety measures, ensured the perfect verticality and roundness of the structure, using lime mortar and occasionally steel hoops for increased stability. Such height was not an architect's whim – it was a key technological element, ensuring a strong, natural draft necessary for efficient combustion in brick kilns and for dispersing smoke and pollutants far from the plant, which, in the understanding of the time, was intended to protect the environment and human health in the immediate vicinity. The brickyard operated successfully until the tragic December of 1939, when history added a tragic chapter to its story. During the German occupation, in December 1939, an attack occurred in Celestynów on the home of the German Zommer family. In response, German gendarmes carried out a brutal reprisal. It was assumed that the perpetrators of the attack were residents of the settlement near the brickyard. 18 men were arrested (many of them former employees of the plant). The detainees were gathered near the train station. As we read in the memoirs of Władysław Święch, "among them was also Father Banasiewicz". Mrs. Zdziechowska, a resident of Celestynów and German by birth, who knew the priest, attempted to secure his release. In a dramatic gesture, she threw herself at the feet of a German officer, begging for mercy. Her desperate pleas were successful, as the priest was released, but the other men were led into the forest along Osiecka Street, where an execution took place. After this tragedy, the brickyard never resumed its operations.

Nature reserve „Bagno Bocianowskie” – a forest nature reserve, located in the Celestynów commune, northeast of Celestynów, in the area of the Masovian Landscape Park. It was established by the Regulation of the Ministry of Forestry and Wood Industry of October 12, 1982, on an area of 68.98 ha

A charming and intimate place. But as is usual in a reserve - a lot of trees knocked down by beavers across the path

A very nicely restored PKP station. Unfortunately, there was no money for a ticket machine (which was supposedly there before the renovation). The station has existed since at least 1879 – initially as a passenger stop and passing loop. It is also known that in 1893 the station building was expanded[12]. Around 1895, a freight station was built on the Nadwiślańska Railway line in Celestynów, used by the Zamoyski family. On January 12, 1958, the first electric train appeared at the Celestynów station, driven by a Celestynów resident, Władysław Kot. On May 5, 2019, the last scheduled passenger train of the Mazowieckie Railways departed from the Celestynów station. The station was closed for modernization, and replacement bus service was introduced. On December 13, 2020, trains ran for the first time on the newly built second track between Otwock and Pilawa. After many years, long-distance trains also returned without stopping at Celestynów station. On December 17, 2024, the modernization of the station building was completed. During the renovation, which has been ongoing since February 2023, the wooden building was thoroughly renovated - including the installation of new window and door joinery, the roof covering was renovated, the floor with a geometric pattern in the waiting room and the wooden paneling were recreated, and the historical signs were reconstructed. In addition, the station was equipped with modern amenities and modernized installations. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestyn%C3%B3w_(stacja_kolejowa)

The Jedlina Nature Reserve in the Mazovian Voivodeship is a small but unique protected area dominated by a natural fir forest – a rarity in this part of Poland. It is a great place for a quiet bike or hike, especially for lovers of nature and silence. The reserve's paths lead through dense forests, where you can meet various species of birds and wild animals. The route is not demanding, but it is worth having solid footwear or a bike adapted to forest paths. In autumn, the forest delights with its colors and is an ideal place for observing nature.

Peace and quiet, a bench on the west side

The Bagno Bocianowskie nature reserve was established in 1982 and is located in the Masovian Landscape Park. It is worth looking out for sundews growing naturally here. The biggest attraction is a peat bog depression called Gołe bagno.
