The manor in Kulice near Nowogard is a historic residential and farm complex associated with the von Bismarck family. The neoclassical manor was built around 1848, and in the second half of the 19th century, it was expanded with side wings and an orangery. The building is distinguished by its rusticated facades, avant-corps, and a gable roof with half-hips. The whole complex is surrounded by a 19th-century landscape park with valuable old-growth trees. Otto von Bismarck, the later chancellor of united Germany, was associated with Kulice, managing the local estates between 1838 and 1844. After World War II, the property was used for the needs of a state-owned farm (PGR), and in the 1990s, the manor was restored and designated for conference and scientific activities.

The town hall in Nowogard is located at Plac Wolności, on the southern frontage of the former market square. The current building was erected in 1911 according to the design of master builder Berg. It is a two-story, brick and plastered structure, covered with a mansard roof with a characteristic clock tower. The architecture of the town hall combines Baroque inspirations with modernist details and Art Deco elements. The main entrance from the market side is decorated with two semi-columns. Earlier seats of the municipal authorities were located in the middle of the market, and their history dates back to at least the 16th century. The building still serves as the seat of the local government of Nowogard today.

Lake Nowogardzkie is a picturesque glacial lake located in the center of Nowogard, in the Goleniów County. It covers about 95–100 ha, is approximately 2.4 km long, and has a maximum depth of nearly 11 meters. Its shores connect urban development with green areas, and on the city side, fragments of medieval defensive walls from the 14th century have been preserved. By the lake, there is a municipal beach and recreational infrastructure, and the northwestern shores border the "Sarni Las" nature and landscape complex. Around the lake, there is a nature trail for cyclists and pedestrians.

The new church in Płoty was built in 1904 after the renovation of the old one, located in the market square, was deemed unprofitable. Part of the land for the church's construction was donated by the owner of the nearby castle, Karl von der Osten. He also financed the larger part of the construction costs. After the new church was built, the old one was demolished.

The history of the New Castle in Płoty begins in 1577, when the Osten family, the previous owners of the Old Castle, sold it to the Blücher family. However, they did not leave Płoty, but bought a plot of land near the former seat and built a new castle on it, similar to the old one. This one was also surrounded by ramparts and a moat, although it did not serve a military function. Initially, it was smaller and more modest than the old one, but over time, after further reconstructions, it became increasingly magnificent and representative. The castle underwent its greatest modernizations at the beginning of the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th century. It gained its current appearance after another reconstruction in the years 1910-1912.

A beautiful view from here of Lake Nowogardzkie, about 2.5 kilometers long. At the back, a nice fountain only adds to the charm of this place.
