The parish church, which "in the Gothic style, [was] built by Jakub Poczta, castellan of Ciechanów, in 1398. The legend says that Jakub Poczta, hunting in the place where the present church is, killed a deer and found a cross fused from horn bone between the antlers and in memory built at first a statue, later a chapel and a church. These antlers still hang in the church and are exceptionally large [Currently, there are no antlers in the church, because they burned down in 1915 during a church fire]. The church is now in good condition, brick and large, renovated in 1856, stands on a hill opposite the palace and windmill, also built on the mountains. Since all three mountains stand in one line, they assume that they were artificially built. https://www.parafiaczerniceborowe.pl/historia/

Very nicely developed space. The park resembles an English-style garden - rows of low-stemmed young trees, flower beds and numerous plantings on a square plan. Nooks with benches. Lots of birds. On one side on a pedestal Marshal Piłsudski, on the other a sculpture bathed in a fountain.

A mighty boulder in the company of its smaller brothers. Set in a birch grove. I felt like I was about to travel back in time. ;)
