Kościół Matki Bożej Wspomożenia Wiernych w Tychowie (the Help of Christians church) on Kościelna street is described as the oldest building in town. Builders used fieldstone and brick at the end of the 15th century, and the 19th-century works added a half-timbered nave extension and a tower. It is worth seeing for its Gothic triptych from the early 16th century.
