Comfortable, functional, easily accessible to all travelers, safe, and renovated in a way that highlights its historical beauty – this is the neo-Renaissance PKP station today, which has undergone comprehensive modernization. The station, built in 1901-1902, has been adapted to modern standards of passenger service while maintaining its architectural values. The brick elevation of the monument, along with the details found on it, has been renovated. The window and door joinery has been reconstructed following the historical model, and the roof covering has been replaced, covering the station with titanium-zinc sheet metal. An interesting feature on the building's facade is the placement of a stylized clock in the upper fanlight of the main entrance. The entire visual effect achieved thanks to the reconstruction has been emphasized by new illumination.

It is a Gothic-Renaissance three-nave basilica, the result of the reconstruction of the original Gothic church, flanked by three large, cylindrical towers – two in the western corners, framing a wide narthex, and one above the presbytery apse, with a gallery in the tower above the presbytery. The barrel vault is decorated with a coffered network of repeating rectangular motifs and covered with rich polychrome. A two-story tunnel porch with embrasures runs around the church. The church was founded by Jan Brochowski of the Prawdzic coat of arms – a Warsaw soldier and owner of the village – and his family; it was built between 1551 and 1561 by the renowned mason Jan Baptista of Venice, active in Mazovia (he built or rebuilt churches in Brok, Płock, and Pułtusk, among others). The church's defensive character is emphasized by its three towers, which dominate the surrounding area like the castle's towers. It was also rebuilt later, including after 1655, thanks to the efforts of Albert Adrian Lasocki. It was during this time that the brick bastion walls surrounding the church grounds were built. Remnants of the moat still survive on the Bzura River side. Inside, above the side aisles, is a long porch, which allowed for a connection between the towers. Typical of the style of John Baptist of Venice is the barrel vault with a grid of decorative coffered ribs in the form of circles and rectangles.

The Benedictines left Sochaczew in the second half of the 13th century under a privilege granted by Bolesław, Duke of Mazovia, and a parish church dedicated to St. Lawrence, deacon and martyr, was erected in place of the Church of the Holy Trinity. The church was consecrated in 1257 by Andrzej Ciołek, Bishop of Płock. However, earlier, in 1244, Siemowit I, Duke of Mazovia, brought the Dominican Order to Sochaczew and founded a monastery and church dedicated to St. Nicholas, Bishop. This church was built on the banks of the Bzura River, which flows through the town. The wooden parish church stood on a slope until the 17th century. It was vaulted in front of the high altar, and the nave was covered with planks. Initially, it was roofed with tiles, and later with shingles. The Sochaczew rectory lacks a foundation erection, and episcopal visits attest to its loss in fires that ravaged the city and its churches. The parish church had St. Lawrence as its patron saint.
