Gniezno Cathedral is considered one of the most important religious buildings in Poland. Since the 15th century, the church has served as both the seat of the Archbishop of Gniezno and the Primate of Poland. The Gniezno Double Doors, made of bronze, are of great significance on a European scale.

The manor house was built in 1889 (date visible on the south elevation), likely on the site of an earlier building for the then owner, Richard Mentz. It has recently been extensively rebuilt and adapted to its new function. Formerly located on the northern line of the farmyard, it now stands on Konikowo Street. The brick, plastered building is rectangular in plan, with a three-sided annex on the axis of the south elevation and a later addition on the east elevation. It has a compact, single-story structure with a basement and a low attic level under a high, gabled roof covered with tiles, with a ridge position on the sides of the structure. The central section is elevated and topped with a separate gabled roof with a gable position. (Wielkopolska Estates, Gniezno County - Maria Strzałko)

The sculpture was unveiled on 2018 as the final piece of Gniezno's Royal Route project, depicting Poland's first king who was crowned in 1025. The statue stands in front of the Old Town Hall on Chrobrego Street, representing the ruler who led the famous Congress of Gniezno in 1000 AD when Emperor Otto III visited the city. This is the third sculpture commemorating Bolesław the Brave in Gniezno, completing a collection of five royal statues honoring kings crowned here.

The Market Square is located in the Old Town on Panieński Hill, one of Gniezno. After a devastating fire in 1819 that destroyed most of Gniezno, the square was rebuilt according to new urban planning that created a spatial axis between the cathedral and the evangelical church, with only two original medieval buildings surviving. Today the cobblestone square features a fountain inaugurated in 2014, and during winter months it hosts a 10-12 meter Christmas tree and an ice rink that has operated since 2008.
