The castle in Gorzyczki was built in 1868 for Edward Potworowski. It is a rendered brick building with two storeys and a two-storey corner tower; it also has Neo-Renaissance features. The year and the architectural form provide different points of reference: 1868 dates the construction, while the materials, number of storeys, tower and style describe the building’s design.

Another chapter of architectural history concerns the former jam factory from the late 19th century, which was converted into a chapel. The town’s history therefore includes two distinct processes: the construction of the castle and the conversion of a former factory to a new use. The reference to the late 19th century applies to the factory; it does not specify the year of its conversion.

The park in Gorzyczki is part of a castle and manor estate dating from the second half of the 19th century. It is classified as a landscape park. The castle’s construction year, 1868, falls within this period, but dates the construction of the castle and does not, by itself, indicate when the entire estate was established.

The Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park extends through the Czempiń municipality between Słonin, Borowo, Gorzyczki and Donatowo. Gorzyczki is therefore one of the places between which the park extends; this description situates it within the municipality, not just by reference to the town’s name.

Near Gorzyczki, the park’s shelterbelts provide a habitat for diverse plant and animal life. This is a separate aspect of the park’s natural significance alongside its historical classification as part of the castle and manor estate: one concerns habitat, the other the estate’s development and classification.
