The history of the railway in Ostrołęka dates back to 1893, when a railway connection was launched with Małkinia and Łapy, and consequently with Warsaw and Białystok. In September 2007, the direct Ostrołęka–Warsaw and Warsaw–Ostrołęka railway connections were relaunched. Then, in March 2024, the Ostrołęka–Białystok connections (2 pairs) were restored, and in December 2024, the direct Ostrołęka–Olsztyn connection (1 pair). The current station building was built during the interwar period, but for a short time after the war, the station was moved about 200 meters away (towards the village of Tobolice) to a small brick building.

The history of our parish begins on June 30, 1993, with the decree of Bishop Juliusz Paetz appointing Father Tadeusz Zawadzki responsible for organizing a new pastoral center on the “Centrum” Housing Estate. During the Christmas caroling (from December 1993 to February 1994), Fathers Tadeusz Zawadzki (vicar of the parish of St. Anthony) and Mirosław Sebunia (vicar of the parish of the Savior of the World) visited 2,023 families, asking for their opinion on the plans to create a new parish. 1,538 families (76%) were in favor of the idea, while 485 were against it. On March 9, 1994, the first plots of land for the construction of a church were purchased from Mr. Wiesław Chełstowski, Mr. Eugeniusz Wargulewski and Mrs. Krystyna Choroszewska. On March 30, a decision on the location of the new church was obtained from the City Office. The temporary designs for the chapel and rectory were prepared by an engineer from Ostrów Mazowiecka – Mr. Mirosław Puścian.

A larch manor house was built in Przystań in the 18th century, but unfortunately it was burned down by Russian troops during the Bar Confederation. Konstanty Godlewski undertook the reconstruction of the manor house, but unfortunately his premature death prevented it. His wife pledged the property as collateral for the loan, and because she did not repay it on time, the manor became the property of Paweł Mostowski, who completed the construction of the manor. Later, the property in Przystań was purchased by the Krasiński family, and then became the property of the Czartoryski family. Adam Czartoryski's eldest daughter, Małgorzata, received the Przystań property as a wedding dowry in 1925. She married a foreigner, Prince Gabriel de Bourbon – Socilias. On his order, the construction of a new manor house, park, orchard and garden began. The manor was built in 1928. It was made of pine wood in a rectangular shape, single-story with an attic, covered with a mansard shingle roof. Inside, all walls were plastered, only one, the "larch room", was lined with larch boards. Outside the manor, a new park, orchard and vegetable garden were established. Currently, the building houses a primary school. After the renovation, the larch room and the stylish fireplace have been preserved, next to which there is a mosaic depicting the Virgin Mary made of tiled tiles. The facility is surrounded by a 2-hectare park planted by Antoni de Bourbon in the 20th century.
