I wasn't inside, but from the outside it looks nice.

The current manor house (palace) in Ujazd was built in the years 1810-1813 on the initiative of Antoni Ostrowski. The palace acquired its neo-Gothic character thanks to its reconstruction in the years 1882-86. It is a two-storey building on the plan of an elongated rectangle with two-storey projections at the front and a terrace on the eastern side. The interiors of the palace were rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century. In the interwar period, the elevation of the palace was partially changed, including by adding a terrace on the garden side. The palace is surrounded by a 14-hectare landscape park located in the Piasecznica valley, arranged according to 17th-century principles. At the beginning of the 21st century, the new owner began to tidy up the park and thoroughly renovate the palace. In the years 2003-2004, archaeological excavations were carried out at the palace. Large fragments of well-preserved foundations of a medieval castle were discovered on the northern side. Research has shown that the area of the former castle was four times larger than the modern palace. Part of the southern foundations were used to build a new building, which stands there to this day.

The monument was created as part of the project to revitalize the center of Spała. A small island was created near the pond on the Gać River, accessible by a wooden bridge. A monument to President Ignacy Mościcki was placed in its center. The president sits thoughtfully, ready to hunt, accompanied by his faithful dog Lord. Tourists can sit on a tree stump next to the president. The ceremonial unveiling of the monument, which was created thanks to the cooperation of the Inowłódz commune with the Local Tourist Organization in Spała, took place on August 16, 2020. Before the outbreak of World War II, Spała was the favorite vacation spot of President Ignacy Mościcki, who was the president of Poland in the years 1926-1939. He spent every free moment here, and he used the place not only for relaxation, but also for establishing political relations, because he received distinguished guests here. Over the years of his rule, he contributed to the development of this small town located in the Pilicka Forest. Mościcki not only beautified Spała, but also contributed to the flourishing of social and political life in this town. He was the organizer of the Spała harvest festival, hubertus, hunting, scout jamborees, car and motorcycle rallies, and numerous sports Spartakiads.

Park Bulwary is located on both banks of the Wolbórka River flowing through the center of Tomaszów Mazowiecki, in the immediate vicinity of Galeria Tomaszów. It is a space intended for sports and recreation, but also for cultural events such as concerts or exhibitions. In recent times, the park has undergone a complete metamorphosis. Among other things, landscape beaches, an extreme cycling track, a fountain, viewing platforms, illuminated pedestrian and bicycle footbridges, a playground, an outdoor gym, equipment for recreational and sports games and elements of small architecture were built. The park has become a kind of "oasis of greenery" thanks to the planting of over 300 trees, 40 thousand shrubs and over 30 thousand perennials and other plants.

The Nagórzyckie Caves in Tomaszów Mazowiecki are 18th-century excavations of an underground quartz mine. They are located in the former village of Nagórzyce, now a district of the city. The sandstone rocks from which they are built date back to the Cretaceous period. Sand extraction continued until the beginning of the 20th century, when mining was banned after the tragic collapse of one of the chambers. After years of oblivion, the caves were restored thanks to the support of the European Union and opened to tourists in 2012. This place is associated with the legend of the robber Madej.

The church was built in the years 1674-1676 from the foundation of Archbishop of Gniezno Andrzej Olszewski. Consecrated in 1694 by Bishop Jerzy Albrecht Denhoff. In 1892, a chapel was added to the church on the western side - the Ostrowski family mausoleum, designed in the Baroque style by architect Konstanty Wojciechowski. The church is made of brick, with one nave. Because the temple was too small for the parish that had been growing over the centuries, in 1987 the cornerstone was laid for a new temple, three times larger than the old one. The new church was built on the eastern side of the historic church. Designed by architect Aleksy Dworczak. It was consecrated on 23 April 1993 by Archbishop Władysław Ziółek. Two figures stand by the church: the Merciful Christ and Our Lady of Fatima.
