Things to do in Międzyrzecz
Międzyrzecz is a town in the Lubuskie region with a rich set of historic sights. Its highlight is the castle complex: the ruins of a fortress built on the orders of King Casimir the Great and the district governors' residence, now a museum with Poland's largest collection of coffin portraits. On the market square stands a Neoclassical town hall, from whose tower a bugle call sounds at noon, and next to it St Adalbert's Church, redesigned by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. A few steps away rises the Gothic parish church of St John the Baptist. Beyond town begin the underground tunnels of the Międzyrzecz Fortified Region. Międzyrzecz suits history and fortification enthusiasts.
