Roman Catholic parish church belonging to the Łosice deanery of the Siedlce diocese. The current brick church was built in 1737 thanks to the efforts of Balcer (Baltazar) Ciecierski, the Drohiczyn pantler. It was consecrated by the bishop of Łuck, Andrzej Stanisław Załuski. The church represents the Baroque style with elements of Neoclassicism[3]. It is an oriented building, built on the plan of a Latin cross. It consists of two pairs of low chapels adjacent to the nave and a three-sided closed presbytery. On its left and right sides are located: a treasury, a porch and a sacristy with lodges. The façade in the late Baroque style protrudes in the form of an ellipse in front of the body of the church. The temple has a high plinth, above which there are columns and pilasters doubled on one side, supporting the entablature with cornices and obelisk pinnacles, finished with a pediment. The nave and presbytery are covered with a barrel vault with lunettes supported on arches, while the transept, chapels and sacristy - with a barrel-cross vault. The church's equipment includes: a classicist architectural main altar from 1787, baroque side altars made in the first half of the 17th century, a baroque pulpit from the first half of the 18th century, stalls made in the second quarter of the 18th century, paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries, including those painted by Józef Buchbinder.

The brewery in Mordy was founded by Jan Zembrzuski, a justice of the peace. The date of establishment was initially given as 1877, and after 1912 (after the Przewłocki family took over the property) as 1878. Probably one of these dates could have been the date of commencement of construction of the plant. The year 1869 also appears... this could indicate that Zembrzuski was erecting the brewery on the site of an earlier plant. In fact, the newly built brewery was opened in early June or July 1879. The brewery was modernly equipped, and in one of the press releases it was presented as a steam brewery. In July 1879, Kurier Warszawski reported "... a beer brewery was opened, with equipment that could in the not too distant future meet not only all the requirements of the improving technical art." It should be added that Jan Zembrzuski, when building the new brewery from scratch, had over twenty years of experience behind him - he had previously worked in major foreign breweries. In the initial period, the plant employed 9 workers and its turnover amounted to 25,000 rubles. At the beginning of the century, it began to reach 30,000 rubles and employment increased to 15 workers. The production volume at the turn of the century was about 20,000 buckets. From the beginning of its operation, the brewery focused on brewing Bavarian beer. In 1885, this beer appeared in Warsaw. The exclusive right to sell it in Warsaw was granted to the TSCHOEPE and sp. Department Store located at the corner of Marszałkowska and Widok streets. Already then, beer from the brewery in Mordy was bottled in bottles of "own form", which had the company's logo on the metal caps, corks and in the glass - the letters J. Z., which was to guarantee the quality of the product. At the beginning of the 1890s, the brewery was managed by Józef Jaworski. In 1910, T. K. Wańskowski was mentioned as the brewery manager, at that time 28,000 buckets of Bavarian beer were brewed. In 1912, another change took place - the Przewłocki family became the new owners of the brewery and palace in Mordy. Konstanty Przewłocki bought the estate from Jan II Zembrzuski for his son Henryk. Henryk Przewłocki lived from 1884 to 1946. He died on June 12 in a POW camp in Borowicze in the USSR. Zygmunt Boenisch became the new manager of the brewery - he had previously run breweries in Warsaw on Ceglana Street and in Żerań. The second manager was Karol Prokopiak.

The Ciecierski Palace in Mordy is a Baroque residence from the first half of the 18th century, built on the site of an earlier defensive manor house. Located in the town of Mordy, about 20 km east of Siedlce, it is surrounded by a vast landscape park with rare species of trees, such as the American tulip tree and the Canadian hemlock. Currently, the palace is in ruins, but renovation works are planned to restore it to its former glory. For road cyclists, access via asphalt roads is convenient, and the area offers quiet routes with little traffic.

The current school building has been in operation since 1954. In 2010–2012, it underwent a major renovation, which made it one of the most modern schools in the region. In 1973, a decision was made to build a Teachers' House in Przesmyki. Specific work began a year later. The construction progressed largely thanks to community work. The finished building was put into use in 1986.

In 1928, the premises for school classes were located in four thatched buildings. At that time, Wanda Osypowicz worked as a teacher. Two years later, the name Czesław Dylewicz appears on the list of teachers. In the years 1932-1935, the school was located in a fire station. As the number of school children increased, problems arose with the location of individual classes. Therefore, younger children continued to attend the fire station, while older children had classes in rooms rented in private homes.

The school in Przesmyki probably began to operate in the 19th century. During the existence of the Kingdom of Poland, it is mentioned that the residents of Przesmyki often did not send their children to the Russified school and avoided paying contributions to the facility, which was then explained by the noble origin of its residents. In 1924/25, a 3-grade school operated in Przesmyki, attended by children from Przesmyki and Kaliska.
