August 19, 2026, Cmentarz wojenny 1939 r.

The cemetery is the resting place of about 800 Polish soldiers of the "Poznań" Army and the "Pomorze" Army, who fell in September 1939, primarily between the 16th and 18th of September, during battles after the Battle of the Bzura River. Units of the 7th Greater Poland Uhlan Regiment and the 14th Jazłowiec Uhlan Regiment fought here, among others. After the battles on the Bzura River, Polish units attempted to break through the Kampinos Forest towards Warsaw. Very heavy fighting occurred in the Zamość, Górki, and Cisowy area. Many soldiers died right here.

The residential building, rebuilt from a flax spinning mill, was built in 1913 in Żyrardów. It was one of the most modern buildings of the Linen Plant and one of the first in the world made of reinforced concrete, adapted to the loads resulting from the work of several thousand spindles. In order to evenly distribute the stresses and vibrations of the building, the roof structure was loaded with earth, and then plants were planted. There was a fire tank on the roof of the building. The water, which was drawn from the Górny Staw on Pisia Gągolin, was to flood all the floors of the building in turn in the event of a fire. On the top floor, below the fire tank, there were two other huge water tanks used to store water used for flax processing (so-called wet spinners). The water was drawn from a source located on the factory premises. It was the cleanest and healthiest water in Żyrardów.

The name of the village Mikołajew probably comes from the Mikołajewski family, who have lived in this area since ancient times. At the end of the 16th century, the village was called Mikołajewo. The first mention of the settlement dates back to 1603. At that time, the Bishop of Poznań, Wawrzyniec Goślicki, while visiting the parish of Sochaczew, arrived in Mikołajew to see the local filial chapel-church of the Holy Trinity. On July 26, 1815, a foundation was established for the construction of a church. According to its provisions, the inventory of the chapel in Skotniki was allocated to the parish church, while councilor Netrebski undertook to erect the temple in Mikołajew and allocate appropriate funds for the maintenance of a priest and his successors. By decree of November 20, 1815, Primate Raczyński established a parish in Mikołajew under the patronage of Saints John and Paul, martyrs, which included, among others, the villages of Mikołajew, Kawęczyn, Skotniki, and Struga, excluded from the parish of Sochaczew. The first administrator was the parish priest from Szymanów, Father Melchior Gromulski.

On the southern edge of the village of Górki grew a magnificent 170-year-old pine tree, whose branches hung down to the ground. On these branches, the Cossacks hanged the insurgents who had escaped into the forest after the Battle of Buda Zaborowska (April 10, 1863) and were captured in this area. During the fight, the commander of the insurgent unit, Major Walerian Remiszewski, sent some of the unarmed insurgents into the forest. After defeating the unit, the Russians chased the escapees, and those captured without trial were hanged. A pine tree struck down by lightning on April 1, 1984 lies next to a small monument in the form of a boulder in honor of the Insurgents of 1863. Traces of the severed branches, from which commemorative crosses were made, are visible. Next to it, on a hill, there is a field chapel in the form of two wooden roofs-tents with figures of saints (by Małgorzata Tomaszkiewicz) and a stone altar table. The whole is crowned by a high wooden cross.
