Main article: Castle in Międzyrzecz.
Miedzyrzecz Castle from the west
The Międzyrzecz Castle is one of the most interesting and valuable monuments in the city. Built at the behest of Casimir the Great in the 14th century. It was rebuilt as a result of military operations. The biggest changes took place after 1520. It was then that two powerful artillery towers were added. The castle was the seat of castellans and Międzyrzecz starosts. The ruins of the castle are surrounded by a moat, along which runs the preserved external embankment of the former borough.
Due to the destruction of the castle at the end of the 17th century, it was not suitable for living. At the beginning of the 18th century, the starosts of Międzyrzec built a new seat near the castle hill. The buildings include a residence and an annex connected to it, also from the beginning of the 18th century. Currently, it is the seat of the Museum of the Międzyrzecki Region. Kowalski's alpha:
residence of Międzyrzecz starosts from 1719 (since 1947 the seat of the museum - departments: archeology, history and art), a manor outbuilding from the beginning of the 18th century (from 1947 the seat of the museum - department of arts and crafts and folk culture)
The museum (the former seat of starosts at Podzamcze Street) houses the largest collection of coffin portraits in Poland, as well as heraldic and inscription plaques related to Sarmatian funeral customs. These portraits have been exhibited in many famous galleries around the world

After a fire in 1666, a new building was erected, which on the ground floor was made of brick, and the first floor was made of a skeleton structure. Devastated by subsequent fires in 1731 and 1827. After the last one, it was rebuilt in its present classicist form. Currently, it is a brick building, on a rectangular plan, covered with a multi-storey, half-hipped roof with a tower topped with a neo-Gothic cupola with a lantern. The elevations are articulated with the rhythm of pilasters. The axis of the façade is accentuated with an extension at the level of the roof.

St. Adalbert, and on the eastern side a square adjoins it, which is a trace of the destruction of the city by the Soviet army in 1945 - until February 1945 there were a number of the most magnificent tenement houses there, and in 1806 in one of them (Jan Jakub Volmer's tenement house) Napoleon Bonaparte stayed overnight. an attack from the town hall tower was planned. There are two small streets to the market: Wesoła and Lipowa, and it is intersected by ul. Młyńska, constituting the urban section of the provincial road No. 137.
