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.

It is worth crossing the bridge and descending the high escarpment to the Narew. A wonderful view of the river and the power plant.

Bridge named after the First Marshal of Poland Józef Piłsudski – a bridge over the Vistula River on the border of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki and Kazun Nowy, built in 1911 as part of the shortest national road No. 85 running from Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki to Kazun Nowy. It was an important strategic element for the Modlin Fortress. The bridge's structure consists of steel parabolic trusses with a lower deck. The bridge was destroyed twice, in 1915 by Russian troops and dismantled by German troops, and in 1945 by German troops. It was also rebuilt twice, in 1934 and 1952 according to the design by Eugeniusz Hildebrandt and the Design Office of the Ministry of Public Works. At the end of the 1990s, the bridge underwent a general renovation, during which it was given its current blue color, which it still has today. The bridge is 576 meters long.
