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.
