Which place of worship is the oldest in Drawsko Pomorskie?

Oldest of all is the church of the Resurrection, a late Gothic hall of the 14th and 15th centuries. The foundation stone was laid around 1350, and the tower followed a century later.

The church of the Resurrection has portals decorated with brick reliefs of dragons and mermaids, and a Baroque altar. It is one of the town's two Roman Catholic parish churches, at Pułkownika Jana Kilińskiego 2. The story of the town from its 1297 charter is told in Drawsko Pomorskie: a town chartered in 1297 beside the Drawsko training ground.

Which less obvious churches and buildings are worth seeing?

Besides the Resurrection church, two sites date from the 1920s: St Paul's and the former Baptist church. Add the town hall of 1907-1909.

St Paul's stands on Dworcowa Street. It took on its neo-Romanesque look in 1928-1929, when it was converted from a stable. The former Baptist church at Boczna 1 is built of ceramic brick with a gabled projection, raised in 1927. After the war it was a store, and today an association is based in it. The town hall at Elizy Orzeszkowej Square 3 wears a mansard roof decorated with a griffin, and the county administration works there.
