The ruins of Guben's town and main church are among the most remarkable buildings in Gubin. It was first documented in 1324 as a late Gothic town church. In 1945, it was destroyed by fighting and burned down. Since then, the ruins have stood as a memorial against war. A Gubin foundation and the Guben Friends' Association, led by Günter Quiel, are committed to rebuilding the church as a German-Polish meeting center. Security measures and the clearing of the interior have been completed. Presumably due to a lack of funds and political support, reconstruction is progressing slowly.

The town hall was built in 1502 from a Gothic predecessor and rebuilt in the Renaissance style around 1672. The three gables that still exist today were added at that time. In 1924 a restaurant opened on the ground floor. In the vaulted rooms of the town hall cellar there is still a restaurant serving regional food. The Second World War did not spare the town hall either. The building was badly damaged and its reconstruction took almost 10 years. Since 1986 the town and community library and the Gubin cultural centre with an events hall have been located here. The town and main church is still a ruin but reconstruction is clearly taking shape. At least the church tower is accessible again. Signs indicate when the climb is possible.

The church impresses with its architectural simplicity, both inside and out. The history of the church and the lives of its patrons and donors persuade with the simple motto, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."

The Neisse promenade offers a quiet place to linger and relax along the river. Here you can take a break, sit down and enjoy an ice cream while looking out over the water and nature. The promenade is popular with hikers and invites you to leave the stress of everyday life behind for a few minutes and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. An ideal stopover on a tour along the Neisse.
