The two main attractions of Chludowo are:
- Church of All Saints - a wooden temple from 1736, built of larch wood and funded by cistercians from Owińska after the fire of the previous one, which burned down in 1710. The new temple, oriented (i.e. the chancel facing east), was consecrated in 1744. A small but beautiful church, built on a cross plan, in a carcass construction, boarded with boards from the outside. Inside the church, on the rood beam, there are Baroque sculptures of Christ on the Cross, Mother of God and St. John, it is also worth seeing the painting of Our Lady with St. Nicholas and St. Wojciech from the second half of the 16th century. The main altar is also baroque. It is also worth paying attention to the wooden figure of St. Józef, coming from the Greater Poland workshop from the second half of the 18th century.
- Palace - from 1875, in the interwar years, the Congregation of the Missionary Verbists with the Ethnographic and Missionary Museum found its seat here. The museum's collections include Hindu bronze deities, Japanese silk chasuble, African drums, stuffed animals from exotic lands, and weapons and clothing used by Indians. In front of the building there is a bust of Roman Dmowski, a pre-war political activist (eNDecja). It was in this palace that in 1919 Dmowski, together with the prime minister (and composer) Ignacy Paderewski, signed the Treaty of Versailles, which finally brought Poland independence.
