The first town hall in Trzcińsko (probably wooden) was built in the 13th century. The current building dates from the 15th century. In the 16th century, it was adorned with late Gothic gables. The rooms feature cross-ribbed vaults, with the exception of the former courtroom, which has reticulated vaults and 16th-century polychrome. Over the centuries, the building has been renovated, rebuilt, and rebuilt numerous times, changing its appearance. Only the town hall's foundations remain unchanged. Extensive renovations were carried out after the Thirty Years' War, in the second half of the 17th century, and at the turn of the 20th century. The last significant renovation was carried out in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

A truly remarkable example of a bridge adapted to the needs of pedestrians and cyclists! Along its 800-meter length, there are numerous resting and nature-observing areas. A tower is located on the Polish side! A truly unique attraction – a must-see!

Sculpture by Władysław Bartoszewski Since 2025, photography of bridges in Poland, among other places, has been prohibited. Whether this also applies to bridges to Germany is completely unclear!

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.

The monumental church in Kołbacz is closely associated with the Cistercian order, which was brought to these lands in 1173. The first mention of the church dates back to 1186, but it was probably a wooden church. The construction of the brick temple began in 1210, and the construction lasted almost 140 years. During this time, the church suffered a fire twice and had to be rebuilt. The church served its functions until 1534, when the order was dissolved as a result of the Reformation. Such a large building was no longer needed, so it was divided into two parts. The eastern part of the chancel was designated for the needs of the Protestant church, and the main nave was converted into a grain warehouse by building five wooden ceilings inside. In the 17th century, as a result of a fire, the vaults in the side naves of the church collapsed and were never rebuilt. In the 18th century, they were completely demolished. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, several renovations were carried out on the church, significantly transforming it. From that period come, among others: new, larger windows in the northern chapel. New vaults and a new bell tower on the roof were also built. After the war, the church was also used as a warehouse. The church has been undergoing renovation for a dozen or so years, but it is still not finished, and the church is not fully used.
