A former chalk and marl mine operated by the nearby "Stern" Portland cement factory, founded in 1862 and owned by the Toepffer family. In 1925, a sudden flood of groundwater through a layer of permeable sand led to the quarry's opening. The quarry quickly filled with water. People were immediately evacuated. The quarry was flooded. Emerald Lake was created, which owes its color and name to the high calcium carbonate content in the water and the reflection of light from the chalk bed. In good weather, railway wagons and even workers' tools can still be seen at the bottom of the lake. A concrete bridge, part of the railway track used to transport chalk output to the nearby cement plant, still stands near the lake today.

Also known as the Klęskowo stronghold, it is located in the Bukowa Forest on the Chojna hill, 74 m above sea level. On its flattened and elongated peak, we can see an early medieval stronghold, from the 9th-12th centuries. Poorly legible, destroyed ramparts, 300 m long, surround the peak with an area of 0.75 ha, overgrown with pine and beech. According to legend, a powerful castle of robber knights stood here, attacking all travelers, mercilessly robbing them. The stronghold, cursed, and its crew sank underground.

The monastery church was originally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and its construction began at the same time as the entire monastery, in 1210. Initially, the temple was built in the late Romanesque style, and it was completed in the Gothic style in 1347. After the secularization of the monastery in the 16th century, the main nave was transformed into a granary. The original 15th-century altar, which was originally located in the temple, can now be seen in the Basilica of St. James in Szczecin. During the period when the monastery was in operation, deceased Pomeranian princes were buried there. Unfortunately, in 1720, the side naves were demolished. On the wall of the church, you can see a blind rosette, which, according to legend, was made by a blind person.
