Ciechanowiec, Historical municipality in Wysokie Mazowieckie County, eastern Poland

The Nurzec River divides this municipality into two distinct parts, with the old city on one bank and the new city on the opposite side.

The settlement received Magdeburg rights and its coat of arms in 1429 from Vytautas the Great, the Grand Duke of Lithuania.

The brick Holy Trinity church, built between 1736 and 1739, stands as a principal religious structure alongside a hospital for the Sisters of Mercy.

The municipality maintains multiple educational facilities, municipal offices, and public services for its population of 4,511 residents as of December 2021.

The town operated a significant customs station from 1520, controlling merchandise transport routes toward Russia through the settlement.
