The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary Queen of Poland in Żnin is a neo-Gothic church built in 1909 on the site of a former Dominican monastery that existed from 1338 to 1839. Originally constructed as a Protestant church, it was consecrated as a Catholic church in 1945 and formally consecrated in 2010 by Archbishop Henryk Muszyński. The church houses baroque artwork including a painting of the Virgin Mary and Child from the original Dominican monastery, and since 2004 it has been the fourth church in Poland to possess relics of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla.

The Chopin monument in Żnin was originally created in 1926 for the Marcinkowo estate by sculptor Jakub Juszczyk and was commissioned by Wiesław Tuchołka, the first Polish district administrator of Żnin county. In 1962, the seven-ton monument was transported from Marcinkowo to Żnin in a challenging operation that required special equipment, during which the transport platform's wheels buckled under the weight and the statue had to be secured with ropes. The monument features musical notation from Chopin's Prelude in A major instead of the composer's name, and depicts the composer in a seated position as if about to play piano.

The Museum of Pałuki Land in Żnin is housed in a historic building that uniquely combines a former Jewish shop from around 1890 with a German magistrate building from 1906, creating an unusual architectural blend. The museum showcases local history through diverse exhibitions including vintage printing machines from the family business that created Poland's first women's magazine "Moja Przyjaciółka" in the 1930s, motorboat racing memorabilia reflecting Żnin's status as a center for water sports, and traditional Pałuki ethnographic displays. The facility also features the Tadeusz Małachowski Gallery, which has hosted exhibitions of works by world-renowned artists including Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí, and displays intarsia artwork by Edmund Kapłoński, one of Poland's most celebrated artists in this wood inlay technique.

The Żnin Tower, also known as the Town Hall Tower, is a Gothic building from the 14th century, one of the most important monuments in the city. Initially, it served as a town hall, and later as a prison and observation point. Today, it houses a branch of the Pałuki Land Museum, where you can see exhibits related to the history of the region. The tower offers a beautiful view of the city and the surrounding lakes, making it a great vantage point. It is an ideal place for tourists and cyclists visiting Pałuki, combining history with a unique panorama.
