"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/

Initially, the church had a single nave, now it has three naves. The greatest changes in the church took place in the 16th century after 1546, thanks to John the Baptist of Venice, who built, among other things, a vault decorated with polychrome, a burial chapel for the founder of the reconstruction, Bishop Andrzej Noskowski (currently the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament). The Renaissance polychromes on the vault, discovered in 1994, raised the rank of the basilica as a historic monument, and the phrase Pułtusk vault entered the history of art.

Great route with bands, jumps, rock garden, drop. Professionally made, one of the few such places in Mazovia. I had the entire bike park to myself today. Great

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

The Singletrack Bagno Pulwy in Rząśnik is supposed to be passable for practically everyone and its basic route is easy. Additional elements and the rock garden section slightly increase the level of difficulty, but anyone who does not feel up to it can bypass them by sticking to the main line. In my opinion, this is a great place for beginners and those who are planning their first trips to the mountains on more difficult routes. Singletrack full of moguls and gently profiled turns will be a great training ground for learning the technique of overcoming this type of obstacle. After training on such a route, it will be much easier for people who would like to ride bike parks and flow routes in the future. It will also work great as a training XC route. Thanks to the great fluidity of the entire loop, you can specifically train maintaining speed and polish your technique on alternative obstacles. In several places, the route is intersected by ordinary forest roads, which also allow you to train smaller loops. Cyclists focused on enduro and terrain should not kid themselves that this is the terrain and route for them. Knowing well the realities of flat as a table Mazovia, Singletrack in Rząśnik is a really good alternative to places like Kampinos, Wieliszew or Stara Miłosna. This loop will also be an ideal choice for an interesting family trip. https://43ride.com/wyjazdy/2023/singletrack-rzasnik-mazowsze/

The official name of the route is "Singletrack Bagno Pulwy", but don't worry, you definitely won't be sinking into mud up to your axles. The name refers to the swamp located below the aforementioned escarpment. The route is a one-way loop, which is 8.7 km long in total. The elevation profile is not very impressive because it fluctuates around 30 meters of elevation, but the route has been designed so that it doesn't get boring for a moment. The team responsible for the Singletrack project in Rząśnik is responsible for the largest singletrack network in Europe, Singletrack Glacensis. The path that cyclists ride on has been specially paved along its entire length so that the wheels roll as best as possible. While riding, you alternate between short climbs and descents. Despite the small elevation gains, you can sometimes catch a good flow and accelerate nicely, and even sometimes lift off the ground. The entire loop at an average pace takes about 25 minutes (the fastest reportedly do it in 19 minutes). https://43ride.com/wyjazdy/2023/singletrack-rzasnik-mazowsze/
