The castle was built in the second half of the 14th century as the most southwestern stronghold of Mazovia, situated in the marshy forks of the Rawka and Rylka rivers, on an important trade route from Pomerania to Ruthenia. Thanks to King Sigismund Augustus, from 1569, the Rawka castle was used to deposit and store the quartz tax (established in 1563), collected from the starosty and crown lands, and intended for the Crown Army. From the 17th century, the castle fell into ruin. The destruction was initiated by the Swedish army during the "Deluge". Partial reconstruction in the second half of the 18th century by the Rawka starosta Franciszek Lanckoroński did not stop the process of decline. Its deliberate destruction, initiated during the Polish-Russian war at the end of the 18th century, was continued by the Prussians, who ruled the city at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. After World War II, conservation work began. In the years 1954-1958 the outline of the foundations was uncovered, a section of the curtain walls and the octagonal tower, which houses archaeological and historical exhibitions, were reconstructed.

Narrow Gauge Railway Rogów – Rawa – Biała (colloquial: Kolej Rogowska) – the first and only museum narrow gauge railway in the Łódź province. Previous names were Rogow Feldbahn, Rogowska Kolej Dojazdowa and Rogowska Kolej Wąskotorowa. The name currently used also functioned in the interwar period. Its beginnings date back to 1915 when German troops built a military field railway with a 600 mm gauge connecting Rogów with Biała Rawska. The narrow gauge railway was used to supply the German front with food, weapons and ammunition. It was used to transport soldiers and evacuate the wounded. Construction of the Rogów – Rawa – Biała Narrow Gauge Railway began on February 28, 1915. Construction was carried out by the 22nd Reserve Eisenbahn Kompanie and three other German railway companies. The railway was built to supply the eastern front near the Rawka and Pilica rivers. The line ran from the standard gauge railway station in Rogów to Biała Rawska via Głuchów and Rawa Mazowiecka. After the end of World War I, the Rogów–Rawa–Biała Narrow Gauge Railway was taken over by PKP. In 1954, it was re-gauged to a 750 mm gauge. In 1996, it was entered into the register of historical monuments. In 2001, PKP decided to liquidate it. It was saved from destruction by the Foundation of Polish Narrow Gauge Railways (FPKW), which restored it to a state of technical efficiency. The Rogów Towarowy Narrow Gauge Station houses the second largest collection of historic narrow gauge rolling stock in Poland. The entire railway is maintained thanks to the work of volunteers, who can be joined by any railway enthusiast.

The over 50-hectare, forest-surrounded reservoir "Tatar" with the Sports and Recreation Center is perfect for not only summer recreation. Residents and tourists have access to a walking and cycling route around the reservoir, benches along the shores, a guarded beach, alleys in the forest, a hotel, and pubs and restaurants where you can eat deliciously and cheaply. There are many ways to spend your free time. For example, you can rent a water bike, a boat, or a kayak and sail around the reservoir. The reservoir was created in the historic district of Rawa Mazowiecka, Tatar, which was a separate town until 1924.

The oldest information about the church in Słupia comes from 1388. In the privilege of granting the village office in Słupia, issued on April 24, 1388 by the metropolitan archbishop of Gniezno, Bodzanta, we read that the village mayor Mikołaj, who received the office, was to pay tithes to "the rector of the church in Słupia, where he listens to the Holy Mass and receives the sacraments of the church". This is the first mention of the church, and although it was not specified as a parish church, it can be assumed that it was the seat of the parish. From the visitation of the property of the Archdiocese of Gniezno and the Gniezno Chapter from 1511, conducted by the Gniezno canon Klemens Busieński, we learn that in that year the church in Słupia was already the seat of a parish (est in eadem villa ecclesia parochialis), so the information about the foundation of the parish in Słupia only in 1548, given in the Annals of the Warsaw Archdiocese from 1958, is incorrect. This description – about the economic state of the Gniezno archbishopric – is the first full compendium of knowledge about the economic situation of Słupia and the surrounding villages, at least in the part belonging to the Gniezno archbishopric. The first description of the church and parish from 1520 mentions the church of St. Nicholas, the right of gift of which was held by the metropolitan archbishop of Gniezno.
