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.

The Officers' Casino building was built around 1906, designed by an unknown Russian architect, with the collaboration of architect Piotr Leon Krasiński. It features a defensive architectural style with residential features. The T-shaped building was very modern considering the period in which it was built. It was the first in the fortress to have electric lighting powered by a generator and central heating powered and supplied by steam heated in a boiler room. This heating system was a rather unique solution. It was similar to what we would today call air conditioning. The designed system provided for the supply of fresh air and the exhaust of stale air, as evidenced by the mesh-covered intake openings and the openwork exhaust rings located near the outer chandeliers in today's auditorium. However, what most captivates visitors today is its decor and the historical interior furnishings. The balustrades, chandeliers, staircase, ceramic floors, and window and door joinery, all of which are characterized by exquisite craftsmanship, have survived to this day.

Attention! Turn right before the farm gate with a herd of noisy quadrupeds chasing a bicycle! The farmer tries at all costs to hide the path by ploughing. Fortunately, this is a part of the trail - well marked.
