The Skierniewice City Park is a park located in the central part of the city on both sides of the Skierniewka (Łupia) River. The origins of the park date back to the 14th century. Initially, it was a garden at the archbishop's manor. The park contained cascades, grottos, gazebos, four ponds and terraces on the river bank during the time of Archbishop Antoni Kazimierz Ostrowski. The Skierniewice park was beautified by Ignacy Krasicki, making it similar to the parks in Smolany. In the 18th century, there was an orangery with orange trees, an Italian garden, orchards and vineyards at the Primate's Palace. In the years 1830–1845, the gardens and park were thoroughly rebuilt, creating a landscape park.

The current brick temple was founded by priest Paweł Kosicki from Zakrzew, prelate of Łowicz. It was built in 1777, i.e. in the late Baroque style. It is not known who the actual builder of the temple is. The design of the building comes from Rome. The church was finished and decorated by priest Maciej Dąbkowski around 1824. The building was consecrated on October 17, 1824, the ceremony was led by bishop Daniel Ostrowski, suffragan of Łowicz. This event is commemorated by a plaque embedded in the wall of the temple, preserved to this day, with a Latin inscription (placed on the right side above the chapel in the presbytery).

The first station building was built in 1845, the second in 1873, in the English Gothic style with neoclassical interiors, to welcome the Tsar of Russia, who was visiting his residence near Skierniewice. The station building burned down in 1914, renovated according to the plans of Jan F. Heurich, and renovated between 1980 and 2003 in accordance with conservation requirements (plaster on the facades was removed, and the brickwork of the walls was exposed). On August 1, 1944, German Bahnschutz officers burned a wagon at the station containing the bodies of prisoners who had been suffocated during a transport from Pawiak. As it turned out, among the dead were also living people hiding among the dead, posing as corpses in hopes of avoiding transport to a concentration camp. A monument to Stanisław Wokulski, designed by Robert Sobociński, was erected on the platform in 2010.
