The Town Hall in Skwierzyna is a neo-Renaissance building, built in the mid-19th century on the site of an earlier structure. The Town Hall survived World War II despite the destruction of most of the buildings. Since 1975, the building has housed the town and municipal office and the mayor of Skwierzyna. In 2006, the facade of the Skwierzyna Town Hall was restored. Every day at 12:00 noon, Skwierzyna's bugle call sounds from the Town Hall tower.

A medieval defensive fortress surrounded by a moat, built around 1350 in Międzyrzecz by Casimir the Great on the site of a fortified town from the second half of the 9th century. The castle is located on an artificial hill at the fork of the Obra and Paklica rivers. To this day, there is not much left of the castle. The (partially reconstructed) external walls and two artillery bastions covered with modern roofs have been preserved. Admission fee.

The railway bridge, which runs over the red stream and over the red bicycle trail (PTTK), is a component of the railway line from Rzepin to Międzyrzecz (from the former Reppen to Meseritz), which physically exists to this day, despite the fact that it is practically closed. Sometimes you can see a handcar passing by here. The last time I saw a 5-car freight train here was in 2020. Even in post-war times, about 200 m west of this bridge, there was a switch, thanks to which rail transport to Gorzów via Lubniewice took place. This place can be easily recognized by observing the widening and subsequent forking of the railway embankment. The railway line from Sulęcin to Gorzów was finally dismantled, and its memento in the immediate vicinity is a railway viaduct over the black bicycle trail (about 150 m north-west of the railway bridge).

Meseritz is now a town in the Zielona Góra Voivodeship of Poland and is called Międzyrzecz. Around 1260 the place received city rights, was under the sovereignty of Poland from 1329 and fell to Prussia as a result of the second partition of Poland (1793); The city, which belongs to Poznań, was in the extreme western part of the province (south of Schwerin/Warthe). After 1945 the city became part of Polish territory.

"Old Castle" is just a colloquial name. Architecturally, the building is a palace and it was originally designed as such. The palace was built in 1812 on the site of the "Red Court" and had features of the classicist style. The founder of the residence and the adjacent park was Adolf Friedrich IV von Waldow. In the 19th century, the palace belonged to representatives of the combined von Waldow and von Reitzenstein families. In 1865, Karl Friedrich Ernst Edward von Waldow und Reitzenstein transformed the estate into an ordination (majorate). His successor, after partial destruction in 1846, expanded the palace in the second half of the 19th century. In the 19th century, a new eastern part was added, adding a representative, monumental façade, which from then on housed the main entrance to the building. After World War II, the building was used as a school, then a sanatorium. Currently, this beautiful building is deteriorating, renovation works have been suspended.

Originally made of wood and earthen walls, the castle at the confluence of the Obra and Packlitz rivers was of great strategic importance.
