Before the current building was constructed, the site housed the headquarters of the Society of Cyclists, and even before that, the Russian State Bank.

The University of Kalisz Rector's Office building is located in the historic former Polish Bank building on Wojciech Bogusławski Square in Kalisz. Built between 1924 and 1926 in the neoclassical style, the building served as a bank for decades. After the bank's closure, it fell into disuse and was then transferred to the university and undergone a thorough revitalization. Following the completion of the renovation in 2025, it became the representative seat of the University of Kalisz authorities, housing the Rector's office, administration, and conference rooms. The building is an example of the successful adaptation of a historic building to academic functions and is one of the city's most important public buildings.

The Lipski Palace in Lewków is one of the earliest examples of classicist architecture in Wielkopolska, built in the late 18th century according to the design of Jan Kamsetzer. The building impresses with its harmonious shape, rotunda garden hall and rich decoration - both on the elevations and in the interiors, where you can admire the illusionistic paintings of the Smuglewicz family. It is surrounded by a restored landscape park in the English style with a rosarium, pond and icehouse. Today, the palace serves as a museum and cultural centre, and thanks to its modern facilities, it is also a place for cultural events.
