One of the two preserved city gates in Myślibórz. Unfortunately, visiting it is difficult because the main road into the city runs through and alongside the gate. Traffic there is very heavy.

A Gothic chapel from the second half of the 14th century. It was used for religious purposes until the Reformation, in the 16th century. In later centuries, its purpose changed frequently. Since the 1970s, it has housed the Myślibórz Lake District Museum.

Built in the 13th century, the church was destroyed and rebuilt several times. It is one of the most impressive Gothic churches in the towns of Western Pomerania. Inside, a remarkably impressive Baroque altar from the late 17th century, the work of renowned sculptor Bernhard Hattenkerel, has been preserved.

The church was built in the 13th century. Initially, it was a single-nave granite building with a tower on the west side. In the 14th century, a brick chancel was added, and then the main nave was demolished and a new one, also made of brick, was built. In the 15th century, an ambulatory was built around the chancel with a tower on the east side, and two side naves were extended to the sides of the west tower. The church was destroyed by fire twice and then rebuilt. In the 19th century, it was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. During World War II, the church was seriously damaged. The reconstruction was completed in 1977. The east tower was not rebuilt.

Chapel of St. Ducha - a Gothic building from the mid-14th century. Built on a rectangular plan. The lower parts are made of stone blocks, the upper ones are made of brick. On the eastern side, a preserved ogival portal with a round window. There is a decorative brick frieze under the cornice. The original purpose of the chapel is not explained: perhaps it served as a margrave's chapel or belonged to a merchant's guild. After the Reformation, it no longer performed sacred functions. In the 16th century it was used as a sheepfold and a brewery, and in the 18th century it was a salt warehouse. In the mid-19th century, it was converted into a fire station, and at the end of the 19th century, the interior was adapted for residential purposes. After World War II, the chapel housed a warehouse. In 1979, the building was completely renovated and a regional museum was opened there - now the Myślibórz Lake District Museum.
