It was built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries in the southern part of the fortifications on the banks of the Ina. This building is located at the current street. Guardian, has the shape of a cylinder, 13 m high, resting on a round, stone base, and its structure is divided into four levels inside, with loopholes on each of them. The ground floor of the tower once had arcades supporting porches. This made it possible to fire through holes in the wall from several levels at the same time.

Private property but walkable. The ruins are under maintenance, a fantastic view of the Ina valley, countless Cranes and Egrets.

The palace is in private hands, beautifully restored. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public. You can only look through the gate.

The Giżynek Palace was built in the second half of the 19th century. XIX century in the neo-gothic style, extended in 1922. Until 1945, the owner was Ferdinand Giese. The name of the estate was derived from him: Giesenfelde. After World War II, the palace was used by a state farm, there were office and residential rooms. Currently in private hands, bought by ten families.

The castle was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries by the Knights of St. John, who in 1382 purchased Pęzino from the Borek family. They modeled the structure of the castle on their other seat, the castle in Swobnica. In 1492, the castle was acquired by the Borek family as a hereditary fief of the order in private possession. Around 1600, large-scale construction works began, including erecting a three-story residential wing and transforming the entire castle into a Renaissance residence. From 1680, the castle was managed by the Puttkamer family, who in 1703 became its owners. In the middle of the 19th century, they added a new wing called neo-gothic to the eastern frontage of the Gothic wing. In the 1860s, the Puttkamers tidied up the surroundings of the castle by demolishing the outbuildings located there. In their place, green areas and romantic buildings in the form of a garden pavilion and the ruins of a chapel were built. After World War II, the castle was taken over by the State Agricultural Farm in Pęzino. His condition gradually deteriorated. In 1977, a general renovation of the castle began, allocating it to the headquarters of the Combine of State Agricultural Farms. The renovation was completed in 1990. As a result of the political changes that soon followed, the castle became the property of the Agricultural Property Agency of the State Treasury, which in 1996 sold the castle to a private buyer. Today the castle is closed. Weddings, communions, conferences, trainings and other celebrations are organized there. Sightseeing is difficult, but possible. Sometimes there are open days for tourists.

The castle was probably built in the mid-14th century. Previously, there was a wooden and earth castle here, built around 1310 by representatives of the Wedel family, and later destroyed in 1338 by the troops of the Szczecin prince Barnim III. The castle did not stand for long either. It was probably abandoned around 1500, and the Wedels moved to a new seat built in Krępcewo. The Wedels themselves began the demolition of the castle to obtain building material, and it was completed by local residents in later centuries. Today, the remains of the castle are in private hands. The area has been tidied up, the foundations of the tower have been excavated. Loose stones have been reinforced with new mortar. The castle grounds host an outdoor event called "Gate of Time" every year in June. The program includes reconstructions of knight fights and historical events, displays of medieval weapons, and other attractions.
