Tips from the Community
The Benedictines left Sochaczew in the second half of the 13th century under a privilege granted by Bolesław, Duke of Mazovia, and a parish church dedicated to St. Lawrence, deacon and martyr, was erected in place of the Church of the Holy Trinity. The church was consecrated in 1257 by Andrzej Ciołek, Bishop of Płock. However, earlier, in 1244, Siemowit I, Duke of Mazovia, brought the Dominican Order to Sochaczew and founded a monastery and church dedicated to St. Nicholas, Bishop. This church was built on the banks of the Bzura River, which flows through the town. The wooden parish church stood on a slope until the 17th century. It was vaulted in front of the high altar, and the nave was covered with planks. Initially, it was roofed with tiles, and later with shingles. The Sochaczew rectory lacks a foundation erection, and episcopal visits attest to its loss in fires that ravaged the city and its churches. The parish church had St. Lawrence as its patron saint.

Unfortunately, you have to carry your bike up the stairs. There is a chute for pushing, but if you have heavy panniers it's still not easy :P

Sochaczew is a small town about 50 kilometers from the gates of Warsaw. Although it does not even have 40,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Mazovia. There are some sights, such as the "narrow-gauge railway museum" and of course a Frederic Chaupin monument must not be missing. What makes the city interesting for the cyclist, are various catering options in the form of a supermarket or snack bar, as well as a bicycle shop, which is located here. Because of the Polish road conditions, it can happen that the spare parts you have brought with you are quickly used up.
