What to see in Pełczyce on your own?
Start with the Cistercian Nuns' Convent in Pełczyce, founded in 1290 on a hill above Lake Panieńskie. Only the west wing remains, with the former refectory under its vaults. At Ks. kan. Henryka Raźniewskiego 4 stands the Nativity church: a medieval structure remodelled in the Baroque, with a stucco ceiling and a timber-frame tower.
At Rynek Bursztynowy 2 you will find the Town Hall in Pełczyce, in brick, from the 1920s, modelled on the old half-timbered houses. When the weather turns, go into the Historical Room in Pełczyce.
