The Teutonic Knights' Castle in Skarszewy, located on a steep promontory of a moraine in the bend of the Wietcisa River, is one of the oldest and most interesting monuments in the region. Originally, there was a stronghold on the site of the castle, operating from the 8th to the 13th century. In the 13th century, the Teutonic Knights erected the first brick buildings on its site, which marked the beginning of the construction of a Gothic fortress. The castle, later called the High Castle, played a key role in the history of Pomerania.In the 14th century, the castle was expanded to include a residential part with a courtyard and an economic outbuilding. In 1370, it passed into the hands of the Teutussic Knights, who surrounded the courtyard with walls, a gate, and bastions. During the Hussite invasion in 1433, the fortress was burned down but was quickly rebuilt. The castle changed hands many times until 1466, when, after the Thirteen Years' War, it came under Polish rule.From 1611 to 1772, the fortress was the seat of the Pomeranian voivodes and the district court. During the Swedish invasion in 1629, the castle was burned down and rebuilt only at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 18th century, the building began to fall into ruin. After Skarszewy was taken over by Prussia in 1772, part of the castle was demolished and the remains were adapted into a salt warehouse.In the 19th century, further exploitation of the building led to its distortion. The Gothic cellars and fragments of the ground-floor walls, containing Renaissance door and window frames, survived thanks to the building being covered with a roof. In the years 1982-1989, a thorough renovation was carried out and the interior of the castle was adapted for cultural purposes. Currently, the castle is the seat of the Municipal Culture Center and Public Library.The modern building, although significantly different from the original design, still bears traces of its rich history. The most interesting elements include the vaulted cellars, fragments of walls, and a place associated with Józef Wybicki, the author of the Polish national anthem, who served his first legal apprenticeship here in 1762-1765.

Located at the southwestern corner of the market square, the town hall in Skarszewy is one of the oldest buildings in the city, with a history dating back to the 18th century. Built of brick, it survived devastating fires in 1709, 1712, and 1714. In the 19th century, the town hall served as the seat of the municipal authorities, and its roof was crowned with a wooden turret with a clock that measured time for the residents until 1945. In the 18th century, houses numbered 14 and 15 were joined under a common roof, creating a single complex. The building served administrative functions until the period of the Second Polish Republic, when the municipal authorities built a new town hall nearby, and the old town hall was converted into apartments. Today, this building, a witness to the history of Skarszewy, is a valuable historical monument and an important element of the city landscape. According to unconfirmed reports, the original town hall was located in the center of the market square, but its exact location remains unknown.

The House Under Gutenberg is a Baroque building from the second half of the 19th century, whose history is connected with printing. For many years, a printing press operated within its walls, where books were created, including those about the history of Skarszewy, as well as local publications such as the "Dziennik Skarszewski" newspaper. The building's facade delights with its preserved Baroque elevation, in which a medallion depicting presumably Johannes Gutenberg, considered the father of printing, is placed. Above one of the windows, a full-plastic female head is visible, and the windows are adorned with concave-convex bands with plant ornaments. A characteristic element of the facade is a balcony on the first floor with an openwork balustrade, which adds lightness and elegance to the building. The House Under Gutenberg, a two-story building with a low attic, is now a testament to the historical significance of printing in Skarszewy. The front elevation, with its distinct decorative accents, recalls the centuries-old tradition and local cultural heritage.

The Governor's House is an impressive building from the first half of the 18th century, whose history is inextricably linked to the traditions and history of Skarszewy. Built on a nearly square plan, on a sloping terrain, it is distinguished by a high plinth housing barrel-vaulted cellars that have survived to this day.According to tradition, the building was supposed to belong to Józef Wybicki, the author of the Polish national anthem, or his uncle Michał Niski, who served as a deputy governor in the 18th century. The name "Governor's House" refers to the period when the Pomeranian governors, forced by law to officiate at certain times and hours, quartered in the city. This was necessary because their original residence - the High Castle - was then in ruins, and the Middle Castle offered too little space.Today, the Governor's House is one of the most important monuments of bourgeois architecture in Skarszewy, attracting attention both for its imposing form and for its preserved historical elements, such as the barrel-vaulted cellars.
