the castle from 1453 is basically a castle

The castle, or rather, a small castle. Tickets cost 23 złoty. I recommend stopping by, even if only for a moment. It's worth seeing.

The palace was built in the first half of the 19th century in the form of an Italian villa with a quadrangular tower for the Grabski family. In 1909, at the request of Stanisław Godlewski and his wife Zofia, the palace was rebuilt using the walls of the earlier building according to the design of Jan Heurich the Younger. In 1927, the interiors were modernized according to the design of Juliusz Nagórski. In 1937, after the death of Zofia Godlewska, the estate passed to her siblings Teodora née Krzymuska Godlewska, Maria née Krzymuska Wartaszewska and Czesław Krzymuski. After the end of World War II, the palace became the property of the State Agricultural Farm (PGR). This state of affairs continued into the 1990s. After WWII, the estate was nationalized - a State Agricultural Farm was established there, and after its collapse - the Role Company. The palace returned to the heirs, badly damaged only in 2006 and was resold. Conference center, hotel. House and park in decent condition. Property available.

The Natura 2000 Special Protection Area for Birds established in 2012 in central Poland, on the border of the Łódź and Mazovian Voivodeships. It covers an area of 3980.66 ha. It includes small valleys of the Słudwia River and its left tributary Przysowa, located in the Kutno, Łowicz and Gostynin counties. A bird sanctuary has also been established in this area, designated in the IBA nomenclature as sanctuary no. 145, with an area of 3284 ha. The Przysowa Valley (apart from the estuary section to the Słudwia) is also part of the Przysowa Valley Protected Landscape Area. In the northern part of the sanctuary there is the "Szczawińskie Lake" reserve.

The parish was probably established in the second half of the 13th century. Little is known about the first church. It was probably made of wood and was destroyed. In 1595, a new church, still standing today, was built by Jan Modzelewski of the Trzywdar coat of arms, the Łęczyca cup-bearer, who equipped it with all the equipment and devices. This church was dedicated to St. Stanislaus, bishop. It had three altars, and in them beautiful, new paintings (novae et elegantes in 1603). In 1843, Franciszek Grabski, the owner of the estate in Luszyn, financed the restoration of the temple. It is a brick church, consisting of a rectangular nave, a pentagonally closed presbytery and a porch on the axis of the temple, above which rises a quadrangular tower with two bells. It is equipped with three architectural, two-storey altars with finials. The main altar dedicated to the patron of the church is polychromed in white, with gilding. It houses a sculpture of the Crucified Christ, figures of Saints Stanislaus and Adalbert, and on the second floor a painting depicting the martyrdom of St. Stanislaus. The side altars are polychromed in ivory, with gilding. On the right is a painting of the Listening Mother of God from the 17th century; on the latch a photocopy of this painting, decorated with silver dresses, originally belonging to the original. On the second floor is a painting depicting St. Catherine. The left altar is dedicated to St. Valentine. On the second floor is a painting of St. Roch. In the presbytery there are two stalls from 1595 and a tombstone of the founder of the church and his wife. Worthy of attention are the organs from the 18th/19th centuries, as well as the white polychromed wooden pulpit and the stone baptismal font built into the wall of the church, decorated with the coats of arms of families associated with the Modzelewskis.

The original parish church of St. Martin mentioned in 1399 was made of wood. The brick church in the Gothic style was built in the first half of the 15th century, and its construction was started before 1425 by Mikołaj Oporowski, the voivode of Łęczyca. The construction was completed by his sons Władysław Oporowski, after taking over the family estate in 1428, Władysław was the bishop of Włocławek from 1434, later the archbishop of Gniezno and primate of Poland, and Piotr Oporowski - the voivode of Łęczyca. The single-nave church with an unseparated presbytery and a burial crypt was built on the plan of an elongated rectangle, with a porch on the southern side. The interior was covered with a wooden ceiling. The modest decoration of the external elevations consisted of white plastered pointed arch panels, a brick frieze made of squared timber crowning the walls of the nave and rhombuses made of zendrówka bricks. The western elevation was most likely crowned with a decorative gable, as evidenced by two half-peaks preserved under the roof by the tower. In 1453, the Oporowskis - Władysław and Piotr donated the church to the Order of St. Paul the First Hermit, the rule of St. Augustine. The motive was the desire to honor the memory of Krystyna and Mikołaj Oporowski's parents, buried in the church's basement. The church building is connected to the monastery building.

A brick castle in the Gothic style built in the years 1434–1449 by the bishop of Kujawy, Władysław Oporowski. Formerly, it was the centre of the extensive landed estates of the Oporowski family of the Sulima coat of arms. In 2007, it was entered into the State Register of Museums. The beginning of the castle complex was a knight's residential tower, built at the beginning of the 15th century on an artificial island, built in the middle of one of the branches of the Słudwia River. Later, residential buildings were built surrounding a small cobblestone courtyard, defensive walls and a semicircular tower with a chapel on the first floor. The castle is dominated by the north-west corner tower decorated with a Gothic dagger. Despite many reconstructions made in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, only minor changes were made. They left behind Renaissance ceilings, Baroque window openings on the first floor, and Classicist stucco. The annex in the courtyard, the so-called "cupboard", as well as the neo-Gothic portal of the entrance gate and the terrace in front of the bridge, date from around 1840. The castle is surrounded by a landscape park established in the first half of the 19th century.
