The Church of the Holy Trinity (Kościół pw. Trójcy Świętej) offers several distinct points of interest for exploring the town’s architecture: it is Neo-Gothic, has a cruciform ground plan, and features a tall tower that rises above Gorzów Śląski. The bell of St John the Baptist, dating from 1711, hangs in the bell tower or on the church grounds.

Another historic building is the manor house at Złota 1. It dates from 1725 to 1775, is Baroque, and was built of brick. The building is listed in the register of monuments as well as the heritage list.

The buildings around the market square are also protected as monuments or historically significant. The town’s architectural history also includes the Evangelical Church of the Cross of Jesus (Krzyża Jezusowego), which is Neo-Gothic and dates from the beginning of the second half of the 19th century. Visitors wishing to view different church buildings can distinguish between these two churches by the features described: the Roman Catholic church is noted for its ground plan, tower and bell, while the Evangelical church is described by its architectural style and date.

The skate park in Gorzów Śląski is located by the central PKS bus stop on ul. Chopina and is part of the Zielona Sala Gimnastyczna leisure complex. The facilities described there include a volleyball court, a small football pitch and a basketball court that serves as an ice rink in winter. There are also skate park features such as rails, ramps and platforms. Nearby, there is also a table for table tennis, as well as chess and draughts facilities.

The sports complex built by the municipality includes an event and sports hall, Orlik pitches and a beach volleyball court. The event hall at ul. Byczyńska 13 has a permanent spectator stand with 300 seats. The sports facilities, individual games and the hall offer different options to consider when deciding where to stay.

The Prosna runs along the edge of Gorzów Śląski and has always formed a natural boundary. Within the municipality, the river is a relatively small tributary of the Warta. It is suitable there for fishing and for canoeing in spring and summer.

If you prefer to explore culture and architectural history, the church, manor house, market square buildings and the exhibition at the “Kredens” gallery offer specific points of interest.
