The castle, or rather, a small castle. Tickets cost 23 złoty. I recommend stopping by, even if only for a moment. It's worth seeing.

The palace was built in the first half of the 19th century in the form of an Italian villa with a quadrangular tower for the Grabski family. In 1909, at the request of Stanisław Godlewski and his wife Zofia, the palace was rebuilt using the walls of the earlier building according to the design of Jan Heurich the Younger. In 1927, the interiors were modernized according to the design of Juliusz Nagórski. In 1937, after the death of Zofia Godlewska, the estate passed to her siblings Teodora née Krzymuska Godlewska, Maria née Krzymuska Wartaszewska and Czesław Krzymuski. After the end of World War II, the palace became the property of the State Agricultural Farm (PGR). This state of affairs continued into the 1990s. After WWII, the estate was nationalized - a State Agricultural Farm was established there, and after its collapse - the Role Company. The palace returned to the heirs, badly damaged only in 2006 and was resold. Conference center, hotel. House and park in decent condition. Property available.

The parish in Sobota was established at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. After the fire of the first wooden church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, in 1518 the castellan of Łęczyca Tomasz Sobocki founded the current one, dedicated to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, St. Anne and St. Isidore, which is reminded by the boulder in the external wall of the nave, above the window. The building fortunately survived the wars and has survived in an unchanged form to this day. From the source records it is known that in the 16th century in Sobota there was a hospital for the poor with its own church (hospital provostry), for which in 1544 the Archbishop Metropolitan of Gniezno and Bishop of Kraków Piotr Gamrat, Primate of Poland, donated the tithes of the archbishop's table in Żbików. This provostry still existed in the mid-18th century. The parish church is a defensive structure made of brick and stone. The buttresses-clad body includes a nave with a porch and a chancel with an annex, which houses the sacristy and the treasury. The building is decorated with wavy gables from the east and west. There is a modest portal in the western wall. The most characteristic element of the church, attesting to its defensive nature, is a small, round tower on the south, decorated with an arcade frieze and having gun slots. Inside, there are stairs leading to the attic. The interior of the church is interesting, with star vaults. The walls are decorated with polychromes from 1905-1907 by Apoloniusz Kędzierski and from 1936 by prof. Władysław Drapiewski, in which the sixteenth-century Renaissance sandstone tombstones of local owners were set: Tomasz and Jakub Sobocki, castellans of Łęczyca (two-story) and Tomasz Sobocki, chancellor of King Sigismund the Old, as well as epitaph tablets and the classicist tombstone of Cyprian Zawisza Czarny and his wife Maria (from the nineteenth century). The famous Artur Zawisza Czarny came from this family.

The original parish church of St. Martin mentioned in 1399 was made of wood. The brick church in the Gothic style was built in the first half of the 15th century, and its construction was started before 1425 by Mikołaj Oporowski, the voivode of Łęczyca. The construction was completed by his sons Władysław Oporowski, after taking over the family estate in 1428, Władysław was the bishop of Włocławek from 1434, later the archbishop of Gniezno and primate of Poland, and Piotr Oporowski - the voivode of Łęczyca. The single-nave church with an unseparated presbytery and a burial crypt was built on the plan of an elongated rectangle, with a porch on the southern side. The interior was covered with a wooden ceiling. The modest decoration of the external elevations consisted of white plastered pointed arch panels, a brick frieze made of squared timber crowning the walls of the nave and rhombuses made of zendrówka bricks. The western elevation was most likely crowned with a decorative gable, as evidenced by two half-peaks preserved under the roof by the tower. In 1453, the Oporowskis - Władysław and Piotr donated the church to the Order of St. Paul the First Hermit, the rule of St. Augustine. The motive was the desire to honor the memory of Krystyna and Mikołaj Oporowski's parents, buried in the church's basement. The church building is connected to the monastery building.

A brick castle in the Gothic style built in the years 1434–1449 by the bishop of Kujawy, Władysław Oporowski. Formerly, it was the centre of the extensive landed estates of the Oporowski family of the Sulima coat of arms. In 2007, it was entered into the State Register of Museums. The beginning of the castle complex was a knight's residential tower, built at the beginning of the 15th century on an artificial island, built in the middle of one of the branches of the Słudwia River. Later, residential buildings were built surrounding a small cobblestone courtyard, defensive walls and a semicircular tower with a chapel on the first floor. The castle is dominated by the north-west corner tower decorated with a Gothic dagger. Despite many reconstructions made in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, only minor changes were made. They left behind Renaissance ceilings, Baroque window openings on the first floor, and Classicist stucco. The annex in the courtyard, the so-called "cupboard", as well as the neo-Gothic portal of the entrance gate and the terrace in front of the bridge, date from around 1840. The castle is surrounded by a landscape park established in the first half of the 19th century.
