A city park located in the central part of the city on both sides of the Skierniewka (Łupia) River. The beginnings of the park date back to the 14th century. Initially, it was a garden at the archbishops' manor. The park contained cascades, grottos, gazebos, four ponds and terraces on the river bank during the time of Archbishop Antoni Kazimierz Ostrowski. The Skierniewice park was beautified by Ignacy Krasicki, making it similar to the parks in Smolany. In the 18th century, there was an orangery with orange trees, an Italian garden, orchards and vineyards at the Primate's Palace. In the years 1830-1845, the gardens and park were thoroughly rebuilt, creating a landscape park.

The park is adjacent to some of the most important monuments of the city of Skierniewice: the Primate's Palace, the Palace Entrance Gate, and Villa Aleksandria. For almost a hundred years, the Skierniewice park was left to itself. The park was not modernized or improved. It was not until 2012 that a resolution was passed to restore the park's former glory, thanks to, among other things, financial support from the European Union. There was a band shell in the park (closed down in 2013). In place of the closed band shell, a chamber stage was built, which will be able to host, among other things, chamber concerts.

The "Praga" Mill - a wooden water mill on the Mroga River built in the 1920s or earlier, located in the former mill settlement of Praga, currently on the border of the villages of Kołacin and Kobylin, in Brzeziny County, Łódź Province. The facility is entered in the municipal register of monuments of the Rogów commune. Water mills on the Mroga River in this location were mentioned in sources from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The memory of the mill existing in the 19th century has been preserved: it was a wooden, single-storey building located partly on stilts above the water and partly on solid land, equipped with a water wheel. This mill served as a manor mill. It was dismantled at the end of the 19th century.

In the northern part there is the so-called Primate's Gate from the mid-17th century with the Jastrzębiec coat of arms designed by Tomasz Poncino and the former dean's office, currently the seat of the Bishop of Łowicz. The western frontage is built up with a complex of canonries from the 16th-18th centuries with numerous foundation plaques. In the southern part there is a Renaissance tenement house of the Cebrowski family, their distinguished representative was Andrzej Kazimierz Cebrowski, a pharmacist, doctor, author of the first chronicle of the city "Annales Civitatis Loviciae". On the side of the courtyard at ul. Aptekarska there are Renaissance cloisters. For several centuries, the market square served a commercial function - since the Middle Ages, markets were held there - weekly and annual famous fairs. Once in the middle of the market square there was a Gothic, brick town hall, demolished around 1830. The market square is also a place of historical events. On the market square, on 24-25 October 1790, Tadeusz Kościuszko inspected the 9th Crown Infantry Regiment, and on 18 December 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte stopped in one of the tenement houses on his way to Warsaw after his victory at Jena and Auerstadt. There are two monuments on the market square: to the Sons of the Łowicz Region from 1927 and to Pope John Paul II unveiled in 2000.

Founded in 1778 by Helena Radziwiłłowa. The architectural and garden setting was developed by Szymon Bogumił Zug with great personal involvement and participation of the duchess. Architectural ideas were sketched by Jan Piotr Norblin and Aleksander Orłowski, which were implemented until 1797 by Zug, and later by Henryk Ittar. The duchess began to establish the garden in the spring of 1778, but she continued to develop and compose it for over twenty years, until her death in 1821. The first buildings to be built on the shore of the great Arcadian pond, which was dammed in 1781, were the Cascade and the Cottage by the Waterfall (1781), and a little later the Temple of the High Priest (1783) and the Temple of Diana (1783-1785) with a ceiling by Norblin depicting the Morning Star, and the Aqueduct (1784). In the years 1785-1789, a symbolic Tombstone of the Duchess was built on Poplar Island with an ambiguous Latin sentence Et in Arcadia ego, modeled on the Tomb of Jean Jacques Rousseau in Ermenoville, as well as the Grotto of the Sibyl built of field stones, the rustic Cottages of Philemon and Baucida, the Stone Arch, the Corner of Melancholy, the Gate of Time, the altar circle on the Island of Offerings. In the 1990s, the expansion of Arcadia continued under Zug's direction. At that time, the House of the Murgrave adjacent to the Stone Arch and the Gothic House above the Grotto of the Sibyl were built. In the last years of the passing century, the interior of the Etruscan Cabinet was decorated in the Temple with a neoclassical interior and paintings by Michał Płoński and Aleksander Orłowski. Around 1800, the Duchess turned towards the aesthetics of a romantic garden. At that time, the garden in Arkadia expanded from the small and previously closed area of the sentimental park to the surrounding vast fields located behind the Skierniewka River, freely incorporating viewing axes and new buildings into the vast space of the surrounding natural landscape. The Duchess's bold intentions from that time were implemented in Arkadia by a young romantic visionary, an extremely talented architect of the new generation, Henryk Ittar. At that time, the Tomb of Illusions (1800) was built on the Champs Elysees located behind the river, the Roman Circus (1803) and the Amphitheatre (1804). A little later, the folk Swiss House was built, concealing fairy-tale "crystal interiors" (1810), which the Duchess located among the buildings of the Arcadian village.

Stanisław Klicki was a cavalryman, a division general of the Kingdom of Poland, a participant in the fight for independence and the commander of the staff in Łowicz. The palace was built on his orders, and he wanted it to become a place where various military memorabilia could be collected.
