The palace was built in 1622 and is a reconstruction of an earlier one, which existed here already in 1540. Next to the palace stands a second building, called the outbuilding. It was built in 1902. A four-storey tower is incorporated into its structure. It was built together with the palace, in 1622. Both buildings were rented for residential purposes in 1889. After the war, they also served as apartments. Unrenovated, they were finally abandoned - the palace in 1963, the outbuilding only in the 1990s. Currently, both buildings are in progressive ruin. The impressive entrance gate to the former farm is also in ruins. Currently, it is supported by wooden beams so that it does not collapse completely.

Monument to Bolek I the Strict, founder of the city of Świerzawa. His handprint is still the main element of the city's coat of arms. The monument was supposed to be built in the 1930s. Work on the monument was underway and a sandstone sculpture was already being created. However, it was not completed. The work was probably interrupted by the war. The unfinished monument survived, although in the post-war years it lost its head, which was never found. It was not until 2009 that it was completed and placed in its current location.

The church was built in 1982. Initially, it was just a presbytery enclosed by a wooden wall. The rest of the church was built over the next hundred years. Over the next few hundred years, it was rebuilt in the form of a pseudo-basilica, while being rebuilt after the destruction in 1428 and the fire in 1487. At that time, the tower was also added. The church was destroyed again in a fire in 1762 and rebuilt again. The interiors are covered with cross-ribbed vaults. On the north and west sides, there are two richly carved portals in the Gothic style.

The town hall building was erected in 1810 on the site of an older one that burned down in 1762 during a city fire. The new building has survived unchanged to this day. It represents the neo-Gothic style and is supposed to bring to mind a medieval castle.

The construction of the palace began in 1734. It was built in stages until the end of the 18th century. Around 1900, it was renovated and rebuilt. After the war, it was taken over by the State Agricultural Farm. There were apartments there. In the late 1980s, the palace was abandoned and fell into ruin. Today, it is tightly overgrown with trees and bushes. There is no way to even approach it or see it. Maybe in winter, when there are no leaves, there is a better chance. Next to the palace are the remains of the farm that belonged to it. The former administrator's house is still inhabited.

The church was built in 1368. In the 18th century, a sacristy was added to it, but the body of the church was not changed and presents the original, early Gothic style.

Driving along the asphalt road to the northwest, a view of Ostrzyca Proboszczowicka stretches before us.

The palace in Rząśnik, located in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, is the ruin of a former Baroque residence from 1734, designed by Martin Frantz. The building was once one of the most impressive residences in the Kaczawskie Mountains, but is currently in an advanced state of ruin, with only the perimeter walls and fragments of internal walls preserved. The landscape park surrounding the palace, once with pavilions and a pond, has also been destroyed.
