The synagogue was built in 1880. In September 1939, the Germans destroyed the Skierniewice synagogue. Opposite the synagogue was the Jewish synagogue building belonging to the community, and there was also a Jewish primary school there. In 1946, the local Jewish committee transferred this building to a private person, who in return fenced the surviving remains of the devastated Skierniewice Jewish cemeteries. For many years, the synagogue housed workshops, a shop and apartments, and currently a household appliances store.

The locomotive shed was built in 1845 along with the railway line from Warsaw. In 1861, a turntable was installed in the locomotive shed, and in the following years the local locomotive shed was rebuilt. In 1879, the locomotive shed was expanded to 24 stations. During World War I, on the order of General Ludendorff, the buildings were destroyed on October 21, 1914. After the end of the war, the locomotive shed serviced freight traffic on the section from Warsaw to Piotrków and local passenger traffic. From 1915, it operated as a class II locomotive shed. In 1939, it was downgraded to an auxiliary locomotive shed. During World War II, the facility was expanded. New buildings in the modernist style were erected from red brick. Ty1 freight locomotives and Pd5 locomotives used for local passenger traffic were stationed in Skierniewice. After the war, a steel roof structure with a triangular ridge skylight was installed in the fan-shaped hall instead of the old wooden one, and a welding shop and compressor room were added. The locomotive shed serviced group trains and shunts. In 1970, a diesel locomotive was delegated to Skierniewice. Electric locomotives had been stationed in Skierniewice since mid-1987. In 1989, the stationing of steam locomotives ended. On 31 October 1991, the locomotive shed was liquidated. The premises house a collection of historical railway exhibits acquired by the Polish Association of Railway Enthusiasts[3] (PSMK). In 1994, the locomotive shed complex was entered into the register of historical monuments, and in 2002 it became the property of PSMK[2]. The buildings of the facility are being renovated thanks to support from, among others, Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, Łódź Voivodeship Government, Skierniewice City Office and various railway industry companies. The facility is open to visitors only on designated dates or upon request for organized groups.

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.
