The two churches combine architectural features in different ways. The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary has Neoclassical features alongside an altar in the Baroque tradition dating from around 1800. At the former Protestant Church of the Transfiguration, the Neo-Gothic style is combined with Baroque furnishings. Those interested in architecture can compare two different combinations of stylistic elements rather than assigning both buildings to a single period.

The former Protestant Church of the Transfiguration was built in 1873.

The Serock Volunteer Fire Brigade owns a hand-operated fire pump made by G.A Jauck in Leipzig in 1887. It was entered in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship’s heritage register in 2013 and restored and made fully operational again in 2015–2016. Its exact year of manufacture, maker and restoration period make it a point of interest in its own right for visitors interested in historic equipment.

Another example of technical heritage is the listed water tower right by Serock railway station. It was built in the early 1930s. Together with the fire pump, it broadens the focus beyond church architecture: Serock’s attractions also include a historic piece of firefighting equipment and a building at the railway station.

On the village side of Księże Lake, there is a spot for campfires and picnics, as well as benches and tables. A beach volleyball court adds to the facilities.

If you prefer to spend your time in Serock outdoors, you can take this into account when choosing your destination.
