Mrożyczka is a reservoir in Głowno (a city in the Łódź province), created in 1975 on the floodplains of the Mroga River, with an area of approximately 38 ha. The reservoir consists of two bodies of water separated by a causeway, on which runs national road no. 14. In the middle of the causeway there is a bridge over the Mroga connecting both bodies of water. The weir is located under the pedestrian and bicycle bridge connecting Młynarska Street, where the seat of the City Office and the Cooperative Bank are located, with the parking lot on Zgierska Street, where city events and a playground take place. The Mroga supplies the reservoir with various species of fish. Among others, crucian carps, tenches and roaches can be found here.

Wooden water mill on the Mrożyca River located in Dąbrówka Mała in the Łódź province, built in 1948. In the 19th century, there was a fulling mill here and a neighboring mill powered by a water wheel. During World War I, the wheel was replaced by a water turbine and equipped with rollers and newer cleaning devices. The mill was dismantled by the Germans during World War II. The current mill was built in 1948 on the site of the former mill. The mill represents a post and beam construction. It is single-storey with a superstructure, boarded with planks. It has a gable roof covered with roofing felt. It was initially powered by a water turbine, and then (from 1957) by an electric motor. It was still in operation in the 1970s. Currently out of operation.

Mariavite parish in Lipka, in the Silesian-Łódź diocese of the Old Catholic Mariavite Church in the Republic of Poland. The Mariavite parish in Lipka was the first to declare its independence on February 8, 1906, and to separate itself from the Roman Catholic parish in Niesułków. The first seat of the newly established parish was the Roman Catholic church in Niesułków. The church was in the hands of the Mariavites until December 1906, when, as a result of the decision of the municipal court the day after the verdict was announced, all parish buildings in Niesułków were to be returned to their original owner – the Roman Catholic Church. After the arrival of the Mariavite priest Tuła at the rectory, construction began on a two-story, brick parish house intended for a school and nursery on the current school square, where there is currently a parking lot for teachers. As a result of the verdict of the municipal court, the Mariavites were also forced to leave the newly constructed parish building. In one night, the building was dismantled and the building materials were manually moved, without the use of carts, to a plot donated by a farmer from Lipka - Jan Jachoł. A wooden chapel was built on the property, which served the Mariavites as a temple for three years. The Blessed Sacrament was moved to the new house of prayer from the church in Niesułków. A brick rectory was built next to the church, in which a nursery was located. The parish house was destroyed during World War I, but after it ended it was rebuilt, and in the interwar period it was used for courses for the illiterate and a library with a reading room. After World War II, this building was demolished, and in its place in the years 1980-1981 a new building was built, which currently serves as a parish hall, where parish orchestra rehearsals and parish meetings as part of various types of celebrations are held. The solemn consecration of the newly built Mariavite church was performed on 17 October 1909 by the newly consecrated Mariavite bishop in Utrecht, Fr. Jan Maria Michał Kowalski.

The current parish church, made of larch wood, of log construction, on a cross plan, was founded in 1765 by the Sochaczew steward Adam Lasocki from Gosławice, together with his son Wawrzyniec. The church was rebuilt in 1845. In the 1920s, it was reinforced and placed on the foundation. The Wieliszew temple has a Baroque-Rococo interior from the 18th century. The main altar contains a painting of the Mother of God with the Child in her right hand. The side altars are dedicated to St. Anne and the Crucified Christ. The Gothic stone baptismal font from 1538 and the Rococo pulpit from the 18th century are worthy of attention.

The church in Głowno-Osiny was built between 1928 and 1936. It was built on land donated by the local tableware factory "Norblin" with contributions from the factory's employees and financial support from its management. The author of the design was architect Wiesław Lisowski. The church was a branch of the Dmosin parish. The German occupation stopped the finishing work. Although a rector's office was established at the church in 1941, during the occupation services were held here sporadically. After the war, the interior furnishings were supplemented, but the development of the community was prevented by the policies of the communist authorities. It was not until December 6, 1952 that the bishop of Łódź, Michał Klepacz, established the parish of St. Barbara, virgin and martyr, at the church. Two years later, a rectory was built. In 2008, the interior of the church was renovated.
