To commemorate the heroic struggle, the Monument to the Defenders of Modlin from September 1939 was erected. The unveiling was performed by the commander of the 1939 Modlin defense, Brigadier General Wiktor Thommee, in the presence of numerous soldiers from his September campaign. The ceremony took place on September 29, 1957, the anniversary of the surrender of Modlin Fortress. The initiative to build the monument came from the command of the 15th Bomber Division, and its design was presented by Sergeant Ryszard Lasota, a non-commissioned officer of the Military Police. Two Soviet cannons were added to the monument. The motive was the Red Army's participation in the liberation of Modlin from Nazi occupation. The monument was erected on the site of a monument to Marshal Józef Piłsudski, unveiled in 1928, which was destroyed only in the early 1950s when the Marshal's bust and baton were removed from its pedestal. Until the unveiling of the next monument, this place was forgotten and neglected.

It is a three-story defensive gate dating from 1836, with a central passageway above ground level. During World War I or earlier, a second passageway was constructed in this gate. Later, the narrow-gauge railway tracks were laid through it, running along the Narew River. On the exterior, the gate was equipped with pairs of embrasures on both sides of the passageway on the ground floor and six artillery axes on the first floor. The parapets of all the embrasures are made of stone. The interior of the "Ostrołęcka" Gate features classical architectural features. On this side, the second floor features three semicircular windows, and the arched passageway is framed by pairs of Ionic pilasters. Source: https://www.nowydwormaz.pl/100,brama-ostrolecka

A brick defensive wall with embrasures, either on the slope of a rampart or at its foot in a fortress ditch, used in fortifications primarily in the first half of the 19th century. The wall could contain embrasures for small arms. The purpose of the Carnot wall was to make it difficult for an enemy to cross the ditch. It was first used by the French military engineer General Lazare Nicolas Carnot in his 1772 drawing. Some bricks clearly bear the names of the brickworks where they were made.
