(also Portowa, Wodna, Rzeczna, Herbowa) It was built at the beginning of the 15th century. Originally, two free-standing towers were connected by a wooden bridge, which was later replaced by a brick building with a passage. The name of the gate refers to the mill that stood on the river bank near the gate until the mid-18th century. The Mill Gate has been a symbol of the city for centuries, and its silhouette was depicted on seals and was an element of the city's former coat of arms. The Mill Gate is unique on a European scale.

It was built in several stages from the 15th century to the 17th century. It had the most extensive foregate, consisting of a semicircular barbican protruding in front of the ramparts and defensive walls, a front gate and an inner gate. It was demolished in 1780. During World War II, the gables and roof were destroyed, and their reconstruction began in 1960. The name of the gate refers to the embankment that existed around the former castellan stronghold before the construction of the walls.

Church of Saints Peter and Paul - Orthodox parish church in Stargard. A neo-Gothic church built in 1889–1890 of red brick. From its establishment on September 17, 1890 until the city was occupied by the Red Army, it belonged to the Evangelical Reformed community and was called Christ (Christuskirche). After the war, until 1951, the church was used by Catholics. In 1953, the temple was handed over to the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church. At the end of 2007, the first major renovation of the church after World War II began, which was completed in the fall of 2012. The church is unique in Pomerania because already during its construction it was given some features typical of eastern religious architecture, although it was intended for Protestants. The temple was built on a Greek cross plan with two slender octagonal towers. The lower, unfinished eastern tower has a pyramidal dome, slightly towering above the roof, and the full western tower is covered with an octagonal dome and measures 33 m. The building's façade is decorated with plant motifs and wimpergs.

The neo-Gothic building was designed by H. Deneke in the 19th century. Built in 1896-1897, it is 65 m high and is the tallest building of this type in Poland. The lower part of the tower has an octagonal base. The tank part is topped with battlements and blendes. The tower ends with an octagonal cone. The decorative façade corresponds in appearance to the Red Sea Tower. The pointed windows are surrounded by a glazed brick wall. The tower maintained constant pressure in the city's water supply network. The tower tank has a capacity of 500 m3. In 2007, the facility was renovated. It is currently impossible to visit the water tower from the inside.

The Pyrzycka Gate served as the city's entrance and defense. It is the most magnificent gate leading to the former Stargard. It was built in the 12th and 15th centuries and is crowned on both sides with a stone defensive wall. It ends with two gables connected by a gable roof. There is an arched passageway that was previously closed with a forged portcullis. After the war, the gate housed the city museum, and the rooms were later transferred to the PTTK branch.

One of the four medieval city gates. It was probably built in the first half of the 15th century. The name Mill Gate comes from the mill that was built next to it on the Mill Canal in the years 1240-1268. The gate stands above the canal bed and has two 28 m high octagonal towers. Two chains hang from the towers. It is a memento of the "Wheat War" conducted with Szczecin in the years 1454 - 1464. It was exactly these chains that Szczecin tried to block off the mouth of the Ina to prevent sea trade from Stargard.

Erected in several stages over the 13th - 15th centuries. Originally in the form of a towerless building. It was rebuilt into a gable gate in the mid-15th century. In the second half of the 15th century, it was strengthened with a gorge and foregate, which burned down in 1666, and in 1790 they were finally demolished. In the eighteenth century, the gate was adapted to residential functions. To this day, it is a representation of the former splendor of the city.
