The beach on Lake Trzesiecko in Szczecinek is a popular place to relax with well-developed infrastructure – there are piers, a guarded swimming area, water equipment rental and recreational areas. The lake has clean water and is surrounded by greenery, which makes it an attractive destination for a break on the route. A bicycle path runs along the shore, making it easy to get here from the city centre. It is a great place to relax, especially on warm days, and getting there by trekking or gravel bike is easy.

The Pomeranian Dukes' Castle initially stood on an island on Lake Trzesiecko, but as a result of land improvement works carried out in the years 1780-84 and 1866-68, the water level was lowered and the island on which the Castle was situated turned into a peninsula. At the same time, an English-style park was created on the drained land. The southern, oldest wing of the castle dates back to the first half of the 14th century. It was built on the site of an earlier Slavic stronghold. As a result of later alterations, from the 16th to the 20th century, the building did not retain its original character. The other two wings - the eastern and northern, date back to the 19th and 20th centuries.

The granary building is located on the site of the former castle mill complex, which at times belonged to the city. The first mention of a mill in this place dates back to 1502. The existing building was probably built in 1848. In the 20th century (until 1945), it housed a furniture warehouse. After World War II, it again served as a granary, later (in the 1960s) a furniture store, and then a warehouse. In 2023, the granary underwent renovation and was transformed into a brewery with a restaurant. After renovation, the building looks very impressive.

The first town hall stood on the market square in Szczecinek in the Middle Ages, but it burned down in a great city fire in 1583. It took 13 years to rebuild. It was a modest but tall building with a bell tower on the roof. Over time, the building fell into greater and greater ruin, so in 1852 a decision was made to build a new building. To cover the costs of construction, the city sold its farm. The building survived World War II without damage. Today, it is the seat of the City Office and the Civil Registry Office.

Monument to Adam Giedrys, amateur astronomer. Adam Giedrys constructed his first telescope from lenses from ordinary glasses. With the help of the city authorities, friendly people and companies, in 1958 he built an observation dome on the roof of the tenement house where he lived (ul. Kościuszki 10 in Szczecinek), in which he installed a telescope of his own design, giving 1250x magnification.
