The market square in Kępno is one of the largest in Greater Poland. For centuries, it had wooden buildings that were damaged many times by repeated fires. In the mid-nineteenth century, thanks to the expansion of communication and industry, the city began to develop intensively. During this period, until the beginning of the 20th century, many interesting tenement houses were built in the market, including in the neo-renaissance and eclectic style. In the square there is also a beautiful town hall built in the classical style in 1835 and a fountain with swans.
