The Old Town
Gryfino was originally a medieval fishing village. Gryfino received civic rights in 1254. The most intensive development of the town occurred in the thirteenth-fourteenth century. To defend the town against the attacks of Brandenburg, a double wall made of wood and earth was built at the end of the thirteenth century, and town walls were erected in the fourteenth century.
Only a few fragments and the Bańska Gate remained from the line of fortifications. The fragment of the walls in the south-eastern part of the town (approx. 70 metres) is looks best.
The Old Town of Gryfino has retained its medieval street layout with a market in the centre. At the main square, You can find the Romanesque church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was built between 1254 - 1278 and rebuilt in the Gothic style at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the largest ones in Western Pomerania. It was built on a Greek cross plan. The top is adorned with a neo-baroque tower with a cupola and lantern. Inside the building, You can find the stellar vault and a Renaissance pulpit dating from 1605. The most valuable element of the church is the 1580 altar by David Redtel. Today, a part of the altar (the altarpiece) is in the National Museum in Szczecin, a predella depicting the Last Supper has still remained in the church. The present neo-Gothic altar dates from the nineteenth century. The organ, which can be found in the church, is the work of a famous manufacturer from Szczecin - Barnim Grüneberg.
At the intersection of contemporary Pierwszego Maja Street and Sprzymierzonych Street, there is a historic post office building from 1883. The location of the post office is not accidental and is connected with the launch of a Kostrzyn-Szczecin railway connection in 1877.
Unfortunately, Gryfino suffered a lot during the fighting in 1945. Most of the historic buildings were destroyed. The Old Town of Gryfino was inscribed on the list of monuments in October 1955.

The Old Town
Most probably the beginning of the town reaches back to the stronghold of the Lubuszanie tribe which constituted a part of Cedynia Pomeranian castellany. The medieval settlement was located on the trade route which connected Wielkopolska with the Wielecki lands. The first references about the village come from 1248. Most probably in the middle of the 12th century – before 1233 – Trzcińsko-Zdrój was granted municipal rights, and in 1281 the town was granted trade rights.
In the 14th century Trzcińsko-Zdrój was surrounded with defensive walls. In the 15th century the town was managed by the Teutonic Knights, and during their reign the town was attacked and destroyed by the Husyts. Trzcińsko-Zdrój was completely destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and its population was killed. Only the 18th century brought more peaceful times for the town and the economic situation started to improve thanks to the development of craftsmanship. At the end of the 19th century one of the local doctors discovered layers of mud peat, thanks to which in 1898 in Trzcińsko-Zdrój a treatment facility was created and then the town was transformed into a spa town. And despite the fact that Trzcińsko-Zdrój functioned as a spa town only until the end of the 2nd World War, the segment “Zdrój” [spa] reserved for health resorts remained in the name. Despite numerous wars conducted throughout the ages in Trzcińsko-Zdrój the medieval street layout was preserved. The town fortifications, which were built in the Middle Ages, largely survived up until now. In the fortification line five lupine towers, twenty rectangular towers and two towers – Gunpowder Tower and Stork’s Tower, as well as two town gates – Myśliborska Gate and Chojeńska Gate were preserved. The fortifications were made of fieldstone and brick.
In the central point of the old town there is a medieval town hall which was built in the 13th century as a merchants’ house. At Kościelna Street near the market square there is an early Gothic parish church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help which was constructed in the second half of the 13th century. A tenement house situated at the corner of Kościuszki Street and Chojnicka Street was included on the list of monuments, as well as a building (currently a clinic) located at 20 2 Lutego Street.
The area of the old town in Trzcińsko-Zdrój was entered on the list of monuments in April 1955.

The Town fortifications of Trzcińsko Zdrój
Despite its stormy past, numerous fires and wars, in Trzcińsko-Zdrój the line of the town fortifications remains quite impressive. The fortifications were built in 14th-15th century and they are made of fieldstone and brick. Some time ago the fortifications had 30 shooting towers, they were surrounded by a moat and an embankment – both were destroyed in the 19th century.
Five lupine towers, twenty rectangular towers and two towers – Prochowa and Bociana, as well as two gates – Myśliborska and Chojeńska (there were three, but Strzeszowska Gate did not endure) exist up until now.
Myśliborska Gate was built in the 14th century and it was 20 high long. It constituted the most important element of the town defence. The bottom part of the structure was made of granite blocks and the upper – of brick. It is a tower gate created on the plan of a rectangle. The structure is equipped with an iron grating which replaced a wooden grating. In the 16th century octagonal superstructures were created from which it was possible to monitor the surroundings. There are also shooting apertures in the gate. The name of the gate comes from its location in the wall – it is directed towards Myślibórz.
Chojeńska Gate was built in the 14th century and it was 18 m high. In the 15th century a gateway was also built which was later destroyed in the 19th century. As in the case of Myśliorska Gate, the lower part of Chojeńska Gate was made of fieldstone and the upper – of brick. This gate also had an iron grating which in the past was closed for the night. In the 16th century octagonal superstructures were built which allowed monitoring of the area. Ladders were used to move between different floors. There was a permanent team working at the gate, as well as equipment and food supplies. Also in this case the name is related to the direction towards which it was built.
Prochowa Tower was created in the 15th century by the closing of a semi-circular shed. The tower built on the plan of a circle was probably used to store gunpowder. The lower part of the structure was made of stone, and the upper – of brick. In the tower shooting apertures are visible and the structure has a defensive porch finished with a wall without blanks.
The name of the Bociania Tower has been used since the 19th century and it comes from a crow's nest which has been on the structure up until now. The structure itself was built in the 15th century by the closing of a 14th century rectangular shed. There was a residential building built in the 19th century which adhered to the tower. We will find three shooting apertures in the walls of the tower.
Town fortifications of Trzcińsko-Zdrój were entered on the list of monuments in November 1963.

The Town Hall
In the southern part of the town at 15 Rynek Street there is a 15th-century town hall. The Gothic building was built in the 13th century as a merchants’ house. At the turn of the 14th and 15th century the structure was expanded, and in the 16th century Late Gothic decorative peaks, a cross and net vault were added. The town hall was built on the plan of a rectangle and it is made of red brick covered with plaster. The two-story building has a basement and a gable roof covered with ceramic tiles.
In some rooms there are cross - ribbed vaults, and in the former court room there is net vault with polychrome from the 16th century. Polychromes with floral and geometric motifs were revealed during maintenance works conducted in the 80’s of the 20th century.
Throughout the ages the building was renovated, reconstructed and restored many times. It changed its look frequently, but in the foundation of the town hall its oldest part was preserved. Fundamental renovation works were conducted after the Thirty Years' War and in the second half of the 17th century, at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The last significant renovation was conducted at the turn of the 80’s and 90’s of the 20th century.
The town hall served many functions, and each story was used for different purposes depending on the needs of the residents. The rooms were used for trading, official, religious and judicial purposes. Up until the beginning of the 19th century on the ground floor there were markets, while after the war there was a detention cell and a police station. Currently the town hall serves the town administration. On the ground floor there are rooms of the town officials, on the first floor is the mayor's office and a large hall in which sessions of the Town Council take place and civil weddings are organized.

The town walls
Gryfino was granted civic rights in the second half of the thirteenth century. The then rapid development of the town led to the decision of building the town's fortifications. First of them, built in 1284, were double ramparts made of wood and earth. Then, the construction of stone and brick fortifications was started, and was completed in the fifteenth century. At the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of sixteenth centuries, it was decided to strengthen the gate (foregates were added).
After the work was completed, the full line of Gryfino's fortifications consisted of 32 rectangular look-outs, which were slightly beyond the walls, with the space of 20 - 25 metres between each one; and one cylindrical tower. To the city led two gates – the Szczecin Gate, which was set from the north and the Bańska Gate that guarantees entrance from the south side. In addition, three water gates were built from the Oder's side. The safety of the town was also improved by the moat around the walls, water to which was taken from a nearby river. Gryfino's fortifications survived until the seventeenth century. In 1640, Swedish army destroyed the walls from the side of the Oder. The western part of the fortifications was totally destroyed by the floods that occurred in 1780 and 1830. At the end of the eighteenth century, it was decided to dismantle the foregate.
Today, only small fragments of walls with remnants of the look-outs on the south and north sides are preserved in Gryfino. At today's Bolesław Chrobry Street, we can find the only preserved Gothic gate - brama Bańska [the Bańska Gate] (formerly known as brama św. Jerzego [St George's Gate). At the end of the nineteenth century, the gate was close to being dismantled due to the expansion of the town. Because of the fact that the City Council declared it a monument in 1864, the building remained intact. In 1888 the building was renovated, and in 1979, during the next overhaul, the battlements of a gun terrace were reconstructed.
The south elevation of the Bańska Gate, just above the crossing, is decorated with ceramic blinds. In the northern elevation, there is an ogival blind above the crossing. In the western wall, there is a bay used as acting as a latrine - the so-called dansker. There, loopholes and semi-circular windows can also be found.
Gryfino's medieval fortifications were built of granite boulders that were cemented with clay-lime mortar. The boulders were arranged irregularly. Part of the walls formed from bricks was in monk bond.  On the south-east side, there is the longest part of the preserved medieval fortifications. It is about 70 metres long.
The town walls in Gryfino were written into the list of monuments in September 1958
