The longest market square in Europe, whose main function is parking. A filter that cuts out cars from souvenir photos will come in handy in your camera :)

The parish of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus was established on 28.10.1927 by Archbishop A.J. Nowowiejski. The parish was established from the territory of the parishes of Wyszków, Długosiodło and Obryte. By the bull "Totus Tuus Poloniae Populus" of Pope John Paul II of 25.03.1992, the parish of Porządzie was incorporated into the Diocese of Łomża from the Diocese of Płock. In 1994, a new parish was established in Rząśnik from the territory of the parish of Porządzie. In 1926, at the initiative of Fr. J. Trzaskoma, vicar from Wyszków, a wooden chapel was built in Porządzie. The current wooden church of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus was moved from Dzierżenin and built in the years 1927-1930 at the initiative of Fr. parish priest Jan Trzaskoma; blessed in 1930. In 1954, the church was enlarged thanks to the efforts of parish priest Jan Fałkowski. The parish church in Porządzie was established on 1.10.2004 by the Bishop of Łomża Stanisław Stefanek as the Sanctuary of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus.

"The history of the town hall dates back to the early 15th century. Bishop Jakub of Płock is said to have funded the seat of the town authorities in 1405. The Gothic tower added to the town hall fulfilled both judicial and penitentiary functions as well as defense. Initially, it reached a height of 15 m and was built on a rectangular plan. During the 15th and 16th centuries, it was gradually raised, with additional storeys built on an octagonal plan. A new town hall was also built - lower, more modern - in the Renaissance style, topped with a crested attic. The 30-meter tower at that time gained a domed spire with a lantern, and a clock was also ordered for it. During the wars in the 17th and 18th centuries, the town hall burned down several times. In 1728, it was rebuilt with funds from Bishop Andrzej Stanisław Kostka Załuski. The two-bay building surrounded the tower in a horseshoe shape from the east. The entrance was located on the north and covered with a wooden arcade. The tower roof was changed to an octagonal one, and the clock was abandoned. In this form, the town hall survived until the end of the 19th century. At that time, in addition to the city authorities, the army was quartered here, and there was a prison and even warehouses for Pułtusk merchants. At the end of the 19th century, a shelter was organized in the ruined building, and from 1880, the ground floor and the tower were put into use by the Volunteer Fire Department. After 1902, a new, smaller building was erected on the site of the former building, in the neo-Gothic style, only for the use of the fire department. The tower was deprived of its roof, replacing it with an uncovered platform. It turned out to be completely non-functional and the original roof covering of the tower top was quickly restored. Also at that time, a clock was placed on the north side, on the seventh floor." Source: https://arch.pultusk.pl/wieza-dawnego-ratusza-gotycko-renesansowa/

The picturesque wooden church in Porządzie was built in the interwar period from the reconstruction of an eighteenth-century temple moved from Dzierżenin in Pułtusk district. The designer of its expansion was the outstanding architect Stefan Szyller, a theoretician and propagator of the so-called national style. The church's exceptional character is due to its characteristic shape, foreign to the Mazovia region, and associated with the wooden sacral architecture of southern Poland. The shape of the temple and its decoration were influenced by the ideas of the architect referring to traditional patterns of native wooden architecture. https://zabytek.pl/pl/obiekty/porzadzie-kosciol-par-pw-sw-teresy-od-dzieciatka-jezus
