The plaques and the monument therefore refer to different historical subjects: one form of remembrance honours residents, while the other commemorates the heroes of the Miracle on the Vistula.

The Church of Blessed Marcelina Darowska also houses a charred wooden figure of Saint John of Nepomuk, whose story has been connected with the surrounding area for more than 150 years. The sculpture, mural, exhibition and historic figure offer different cultural points of interest for visitors interested in art and local history.
