The beach on Lake Trzesiecko in Szczecinek is a popular place to relax with well-developed infrastructure – there are piers, a guarded swimming area, water equipment rental and recreational areas. The lake has clean water and is surrounded by greenery, which makes it an attractive destination for a break on the route. A bicycle path runs along the shore, making it easy to get here from the city centre. It is a great place to relax, especially on warm days, and getting there by trekking or gravel bike is easy.

The Pomeranian Dukes' Castle initially stood on an island on Lake Trzesiecko, but as a result of land improvement works carried out in the years 1780-84 and 1866-68, the water level was lowered and the island on which the Castle was situated turned into a peninsula. At the same time, an English-style park was created on the drained land. The southern, oldest wing of the castle dates back to the first half of the 14th century. It was built on the site of an earlier Slavic stronghold. As a result of later alterations, from the 16th to the 20th century, the building did not retain its original character. The other two wings - the eastern and northern, date back to the 19th and 20th centuries.

The church was built in 1905-1908. It is a neo-Gothic building with a richly decorated interior. The church suffered only minor damage during World War II, so it has survived in almost its original form to this day.

The Józef Piłsudski monument in Szczecinek was unlucky from the start. The Kresowiacy community could not agree on a location for five years. In the end, the square at Sowińskiego Square was chosen. Initially, the monument was to be made by the Koszalin sculptor Zygmunt Wujek. After many changes in the concept and delays in the deadlines, the design was finally agreed upon. However, Wujek's services were then abandoned, although the cast was ready. The new monument was made by Robert Sobociński from Poznań. The monument was unveiled in 2002. Not everyone liked it. The most criticized were the unclear symbolism with the Piast sword, the distorted proportions and the coat that tightly hugged Piłsudski's figure. So the monument was made again. The ceremonial unveiling of the new version of the monument took place in 2011.

The granary building is located on the site of the former castle mill complex, which at times belonged to the city. The first mention of a mill in this place dates back to 1502. The existing building was probably built in 1848. In the 20th century (until 1945), it housed a furniture warehouse. After World War II, it again served as a granary, later (in the 1960s) a furniture store, and then a warehouse. In 2023, the granary underwent renovation and was transformed into a brewery with a restaurant. After renovation, the building looks very impressive.
