The spatial configuration of the town, preserved without greater changes since the thirteenth century, together with the castlć located on the site of the former castle-town, comprise an extremely interesting town planning complex. Its value is enhanced by the extant monuments of architecture, the most important being the parish church and the castle ruins. Just as fascinating are the titular Classical objects, the first being the town hall standing in the middle of the Market Square. The object in question owes it Classical shape to eighteenth-century redesigning (1743-1752); only its n eo -(Io th ic tower was added when the town hall was rebuilt after 1827 when a fire destroyed a considerable part of the town. The most important objects raised in Międzyrzecz during the first half of the nineteenth century include a neoclassical Protestant church and the accompanying vicarage and school (1828-1833). The complex occupies the central part of the n o rth e rn row of houses in the Market Square. The au th o rship o f the project was ascribed to Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who probably only confirmed plans devised in Berlin. Today, the building is a Roman Catholic church. Slightly older is the new synagogue (1825), which re placed a predecessor in Żydowska Street (today: Piotra Skargi Street), destroyed by fire. At present, the building, in a highly unsatisfactory state of preservation, serves as a storehouse. Mention is due to n o n -ex tan t Classical objects, whose appearance is known from old photographs, and which include the old secondary school, built near the parish church in 1838, as well as the home of the merchant J. J. Volmer from the end of the eighteenth century in the Market Square. Międzyrzecz includes a large complex of Classical residential buildings in the Old Town, which encompass the Market Square and Świerczewskiego, Waszkiewicza, Wesoła, and 30 Stycznia streets. A characteristic type encountered here is a th re e - or four-axial g round-floor or single-storey house. The decoration of the elevations is limited usually to cornices and encircling floors and entrances; a more rare element at ornamental friezes or decorative panels below the windows. The majority of the houses is devoid of more significant artistic assets, but together they constitute an interesting complex endowed with specific architectural expression.
