The same church hosts a regular summer concert series featuring organ music every year. This is a distinct cultural highlight alongside the historic objects in the parish museum.

The town hall stands in the middle of the market square. Built in 1855, it was modelled on Babelsberg Palace and designed in the English Gothic Revival style. Pasym also preserves fragments of medieval defensive walls dating from the second half of the 15th century. The water tower in the town park dates from 1910–1911. The town hall, wall fragments and water tower offer different ways to explore the town’s architectural history.
