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 first town hall stood on the market square in Szczecinek in the Middle Ages, but it burned down in a great city fire in 1583. It took 13 years to rebuild. It was a modest but tall building with a bell tower on the roof. Over time, the building fell into greater and greater ruin, so in 1852 a decision was made to build a new building. To cover the costs of construction, the city sold its farm. The building survived World War II without damage. Today, it is the seat of the City Office and the Civil Registry Office.
