Ciechanowiec, Historical municipality in Wysokie Mazowieckie County, eastern Poland

Ciechanowiec is a municipality in eastern Poland where the Nurzec River creates a clear division between the older and newer parts of the settlement. The waterway shapes how the town is laid out and how it has grown over time.

The settlement received Magdeburg rights and a coat of arms in 1429 from Vytautas the Great, the Grand Duke of Lithuania. This grant gave the town legal privileges that shaped its future development and status.

The brick Holy Trinity church shapes the town's appearance and reflects the area's religious traditions. This structure built in the mid-1700s shows how faith has been part of community life for generations.

The town has schools, government offices, and public services available for visitors and residents. These facilities make it easy to navigate and explore the local area comfortably.

From 1520 onward, the town operated a significant customs post that controlled goods moving toward Russia. This position made trade and the inspection of merchandise heading east an important part of the local economy.
