In the center of Ślesina, precisely at Freedom Square (Plac Wolności), a fountain with a goose and the figure of an elderly man holding a goose under his arm were unveiled. The reference to geese in Ślesina is a tradition that dates back to the years when the inhabitants were involved in breeding and trading geese. They bought them not only in Greater Poland and then sold them to Prussia and Germany. According to the city's historical records, breeders "shod" the birds so they could withstand the hardships of transport; the geese were driven through pitch and then feathers, which protected them from injuries. Currently, few people in the area are involved in the goose trade. However, a true treasure has remained from the great-grandfathers of the current inhabitants of Ślesina and its surroundings – a culinary heritage inextricably linked to the most diverse ways of preparing geese. It is no coincidence, therefore, that the goose has become the symbol of the city, and the square another excellent place for rest and relaxation.

Napoleon's Arch in Ślesin – a triumphal arch located in Ślesin, by the road to Sompolno. The arch was erected by the inhabitants of Ślesin in 1811 or 1812, in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte. The inhabitants hoped that he would pass this way when advancing on Russia. The Emperor presumably did not see the structure.
