Post-Bernardine church with a monastery, built on a hill in the 17th century. In July 1629, a congress of Wieluń nobility approved the establishment of a monastery with the church of St. Michael the Archangel for the Bernardine Order. Initially, in 1638, a wooden church and monastery were built on the site of the current brick church. During the Swedish invasion in 1656, the monastery buildings were burned down; before that, the church was robbed. In the years 1680–1740, the current temple was built, and it was consecrated by Bishop Sommerfeld in 1741. The building in the Baroque style was built of plastered brick. The belfry from 1810 was demolished in 1946. The presbytery has an area of 8 × 7 m, and is 11 m high, while the nave is 8 × 16 m and 13 m high. Inside, the walls bear the coats of arms of the families that founded the monastery and the church: Psarski, Leszczyński, Siewierski, Krakowski, Karśnicki and Wężyk, sculptures commemorating Rafał and Jan Leszczyński, and a late Baroque polychrome made in 1740 by Antoni Ignacy Linki (the inscription above the choir). Next to the church is the chapel of St. Thaddeus Jude with an 18th-century painting of the patron saint in a Baroque altar. Currently, the monastery is occupied by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth.

The town hall is located in the middle of the Market Square and was built in 1840 on the foundations of an earlier one. The seat of the Civil Registry Office and the Władysław Golus Regional Museum. It is a two-story building erected on a rectangular plan, with an attic and basements. It is covered with a hipped roof made of red tiles. Cornices separate the floors from the outside. On the ridge of the roof there is a turret with a clock, topped with a tented roof with a spire. Barrel vaults have been preserved inside the town hall.

It is a wooden temple from 1758, covered with a shingle roof. Inside, semi-folk polychrome from the 18th century, on the wall of the presbytery, images of the evangelists among plant decorations. Several late Gothic sculptures. A painting of the Crucifixion with figures of the founders in Polish costumes from the 16th-17th centuries and a painting of the Madonna and Child surrounded by musical angels from around the mid-17th century.

Mural by Krakow artist Olaf Cirut. While searching for inspiration, he came across a black and white photograph taken in the late 1950s on Plac Borek in Ostrzeszów on the Internet. The artist is Stefan Solarek, and the main characters are three boys, a bicycle, and a teddy bear. The atmosphere of the photograph reminded the Krakowian of Olga Tokarczuk's famous speech after she received the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Catholic Church of St. Jadwiga of Silesia from 1807, a temple built in the classicist style. In 1984, a brick bell tower was built, which in style matches the body of the church. In the interior design of the temple, the main altar with a figure of the patron saint from 1947 and two classicist side altars with paintings: Our Lady of Częstochowa and the Transfiguration of the Lord are worthy of attention. Also worthy of attention are the ceiling plafonds, depicting St. Maximilian, Christ and a symbolic vision of the election of John Paul II to the apostolic see. These plafonds date back to the early eighties of the last century.
