Tarczyn – the first documents that mention the town are dated 1254. Tarczyn had an advantageous location on the crossing of trade routes from Radom to Warsaw and Zakroczym and from Lublin through Łowicz to Poznań. In 1353, Casimir I, Duke of Masovia, granted Madgeburg rights to the settlement and founded the St Nicholas Church there. In the 16th century, Tarczyn was the centre of the district. Like many other administrative centres in the territory of Poland, the town was plundered by the Swedish army during the Deluge in the middle of the 17th century. It also suffered vast damages in the fire in 1704. In 1869, upon a tzar’s ukase (proclamation), civic rights of Tarczyn were annulled. In 1953, railroad line connecting the town with Skierniewice and Pilawa was constructed. In 1966, the Masovian Fruit & Vegetable Processing Company was established. Tarczyn regained its civic rights on 1 January 2003.

St Nicholas Church – the construction of this brick church started in the first decades of the 16th century. In the years 1623-1630, owing to the efforts of Gabriel Prowansjusz, the royal secretary, the church was thoroughly reconstructed. The baptismal font made of red marble and decorated with the coat of arms of its founder was created in this period. Another reconstruction took place in the years 1840-1842. The interior of the church preserved its Gothic character, although Baroque elements introduced later are also quite strong. There are epitaphs of Kazimierz Jan Szczuka – Bishop of Chełmno, Marcin Dębski – Burgrave and Vice-Starost of Czersk and Gabriel Prowansjusz – a royal secretary. There is also a 17th-century Baroque organ front and an 18th-century pulpit. In the cemetery outside the church, there are well-preserved tombs of Colonel Józef Godlewski with his family and Stefan Rostkowski, dated at the first half of the 19th century.

Bell tower – Classicist bell tower erected in 1842, built in the church wall.

Roadhouse – constructed in the beginning of the 19th century, the building was used as a roadhouse for mail carriers. The post office in Tarczyn was one of the first post offices in the Kingdom of Poland (Number 11). The roadhouse in Tarczyn was a major station on the route through Grójec to Krakow. There was a carriage horse exchange point, a hostel and an inn for mail carriers.

Parish cemetery – established on the turn of the 19th century. Very few old tombs have been preserved until today. Among the oldest ones, there is a tomb of Stanisław August Woyde, died 1873, the last Mayor of Tarczyn before the annulment of civic rights of the town in the 19th century. Other old monuments include the tombs of Stanisław Błędowski, Franciszek Kornatowski or Franciszek Łobodowski. There is also a collective tomb of soldiers killed in the January Uprising in 1863 and tombs of priests from Tarczyn. Rev. Czesław Oszkiel, a hero of World War II, is buried in one of them.
