January 18, 2026, Eingang zur Burg und zum Museum

The small museum and the castle together cost about €2.50 to enter. Besides the eventful German-Polish history of Meseritz, the exhibition, which also has German labels, explores the tradition of coffin portraits of nobles in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is said to be the largest collection of this kind in Poland.

The Międzyrzecz Post Office was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the neo-Gothic style characteristic of the period. These were times of rapid city development. Near the post office, a new building for the district office and the district treasury were constructed. Both buildings were located on the same street, which was then called Kirchstrasse, meaning church street. It owed its name to the oldest church in Międzyrzecz – the 15th-century Church of St. John the Baptist. Its walls were faced with red brick, and the architectural details were made of glazed green ceramic shapes. The front façade is asymmetrical. The right wing, slightly protruding towards the street, houses a pointed-arch entrance framed by a portal; it is crowned by a triangular gable decorated with blind windows, pinnacles, and floral ornamentation. The left wing has six axes. The windows are either pointed-arch or capped with segmental arches. The building still serves as a post office today.

The parish church in Międzyrzecz was erected under the king's patronage in the first half of the 13th century, along with the granting of city rights. It is the only surviving monument of Gothic religious architecture in the city. The church was built after the city was destroyed by the troops of Matthias Corvinus in 1474, and the main construction work most likely took place at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. It is the only surviving Gothic monument in the city.

A Roman Catholic parish church belonging to the parish of St. Nicholas in Skwierzyna, Rokitno deanery, Zielona Góra-Gorzów diocese, Szczecin-Kamień metropolitan area, located in Skwierzyna, Międzyrzecz County, Lubusz Voivodeship. Built in the 19th century, some of the walls are much older, dating back to the 15th or even the 13th century. It is the only structure to have survived from the town's original medieval urban layout. The church is one of eleven sanctuaries belonging to the Zielona Góra-Gorzów diocese. The first mention of St. Nicholas Church in Skwierzyna (then a settlement called Skwirzyna) dates from 1226. Part of the walls in the chancel, which survive in fragments, date from around this time. In the 15th century, a new building was built on the site of the old church, this time entirely of brick. The plan of the original building almost entirely reflects the present-day appearance of the church. In 1507, St. Nicholas the Bishop became the church's patron saint. Thirty-three years later, in 1540, St. Nicholas' Church became a Protestant church. At that time, most of Skwierzyna's residents were Protestant. Consequently, Stanisław Myszkowski, the starost of Międzyrzecz, handed the church over to them. This status remained until 1605, when Wawrzyniec Goślicki, the bishop of Poznań, intervened with Jan Zamojski, the starost of Międzyrzecz, regarding the church. The church official demanded that the church be returned to Catholic ownership. A thorough renovation of the building took place between 1861 and 1863, giving it its present appearance. The new structure was consecrated on May 17, 1863, by Franciszek Stefanowicz, the auxiliary bishop of Poznań. The church was spared from being burned down after the Russians (Soviets) entered the city in 1945 because they used the church as a warehouse for various equipment confiscated from the residents.

The temple was built as a Protestant church between 1847 and 1854. It was built on the site of the former wooden Protestant church, which burned down in one of the many fires that frequently hit the city in the 19th century. In 1948 it was renamed the Holy Cross Church. In 1958 the church's previous name was restored.
