Market Square in Wąbrzeźno - John Paul II Square. The atmosphere of the market square is created by numerous Art Nouveau tenement houses, most of which have retained their original appearance. Other attractions include a fountain depicting two lizards symbolizing the Lizard Society - an anti-Teutonic organization operating in the Chełmno region in the 15th century, and the statue of the Polish Soldier unveiled in 1947.

Parish Church of St. John the Baptist in Nowa Wieś Królewskie probably began to be built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, and the completion of the main body of the building took place in the second half of the 14th century, when a nave was added to the presbytery and sacristy. The upper part of the church tower was erected in the second half of the 16th century. During the Polish-Teutonic war in the early 15th century, the village was ravaged, because according to the damage book from 1414, its losses were estimated at 1,000 marks. Presumably, the church was also damaged at that time. The temple was again devastated during the Swedish wars in the 17th century and then thoroughly renovated. In the nineteenth century, the building was enlarged by a chapel, and in 1908 a thorough renovation was carried out.

A four-wing Teutonic commander's castle, erected in 1330 on the shore of the Castle Lake. Built in the well-known four-sided form with a corner tower of the "bergfried" type, probably according to the design of the same architect who had previously erected Gniew Castle. During the Polish-Swedish war in 1628, it was seriously damaged during a siege by the Swedes, and then abandoned. Currently, the castle is in ruins.
