The town church of Czluchow (German: Schlochau) was originally built as a Protestant church and had to be handed over to the Catholics by the Polish state in 1609 due to the Counter-Reformation. See also: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cz%C5%82uch%C3%B3w

After World War II, the owner of the tenement house was a resident of Warsaw, so the building began to be called "Warszawianka".

In Człuchów, on Królewska Street, there is a charming market square with 19th-century tenement houses. This main square in the city is filled with modern architecture, among which several historic tenement houses have been preserved. One of the more interesting tenement houses is Kamienica pod Pannami. On the front elevation there are figures of maidens, hence the name of the building. One of the girls is holding a sheep, and the other a shovel and a basket of flowers

The most beautiful part of the building is undoubtedly its bay windows and architectural details of the elevation. The elevation is nicely renovated.

The Soldin tenement house is the second most impressive tenement house in the vicinity of the market square after the Pod Pannami tenement house. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century and its name comes from the merchant Lewin Soldin, who traded on the ground floor, among others, curtains, carpets and various clothing. In the post-war period, the tenement house was called "Odrodzenie" because it was the seat of PSS "Odrodzenie".

At the beginning of the Thirteen Years' War, at the end of February 1454, the Poles took over the castle, and Człuchów became a royal town and the seat of the starosty in 1466. From then on, the mighty fortress stood guard over the north-western border of Poland, which ran 20 km west of Człuchów, for over 300 years. In the final period of the First Polish Republic, the fortress lost its military significance, and the castle buildings were in a state of decline. After a fire in 1793, the residents received permission from King Frederick William II to demolish the castle, and the obtained bricks were used to rebuild the burnt-out houses. The former glory is evidenced today by the mighty tower of the High Castle (46 m), from which you can admire the panorama of Człuchów and the surrounding area. In the years 1826-1828, an Evangelical church was built on the foundations of the castle chapel, and the tower was converted into a belfry. In 1844, the tower's crown was changed to a high battlement. For the bell ringer and tourists, an entrance was made at the bottom of the tower and wooden stairs were made. https://muzeumczluchow.pl/pl/o-muzeum/historia-zamku

The most important part of the stronghold was the four-winged High Castle, built on a square plan with a side of 47.5 m. Each of the buildings consisted of at least three storeys - a basement, a low ground floor and a high floor above it. The wings were crowned by an attic storey. The whole was dominated by a massive octagonal tower located in the north-west corner of the High Castle. The entrance to it was located at the height of the attics of the castle wings. In the north wing of the castle there was a chapel, in the east wing there was a chapter house - a hall for meetings and councils of the monks, in the south dormitory - a common bedroom for the brothers, and in the west a refectory - a room for eating meals. In the basements and on the upper storeys there were warehouses, armouries, a commander's mill, and in Polish times a brewery. Inside the buildings there was a rectangular courtyard surrounded by cloisters. https://muzeumczluchow.pl/pl/o-muzeum/historia-zamku
