There is a 19th-century stone Orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration, a 19th-century Orthodox chapel, an early 20th-century railway station building, a monument to the participants of the Battle of Grunwald, and several other interesting sites.

      The Catholic Church of St. Joseph was built in the center of the city near the railway. The temple was rebuilt from an outbuilding, a stable, which was erected at the beginning of the 20th century. The parishioners believed that the church would be temporarily located in the stable. They wanted to build a new Catholic church in the 1930s. They began to purchase building materials and bricks. But with the outbreak of World War II, plans changed.

       In the Soviet period of 1939 – 1941, the building materials were stretched to other facilities, but the church worked. During the Nazi occupation, a local priest was arrested and killed in a concentration camp. During the war, the church burned down.

        After the war, the building was rebuilt as a cafe at the railway station.

        In the 1990s, the building was returned to the Catholic faithful and repairs were carried out. A chetverik tower was added.
