In the 13th century, there was a castellan stronghold here, which served as a border stronghold. After the castellany was liquidated in the second half of the 13th century, the castle passed into private hands, becoming the property of the Świnka family, who gave the castle its name. In the 14th century, the castle was rebuilt into a brick fortress, and in the 15th century it was expanded by Gunczel von Schweinchen, who built a new wing of the castle. In 1620, after the Thirty Years' War, the castle underwent a major modernization. Jan Zygmunt Świnka built new walls, bastions, and a drawbridge, which was to strengthen the castle's fortification function. In his time, Świny became one of the most powerful seats in the region. However, after Jan Zygmunt's death in the second half of the 18th century, the castle fell into ruin. In the 20th century, Świny Castle passed into the hands of various owners, who attempted to renovate it. In 1905, the building was secured by the Association of Friends of Bolkowy Gaj, and later gradually opened to tourists. Unfortunately, the castle was damaged during World War II, and after the war it was abandoned. Currently, the castle is being restored, but is open to visitors. Admission only in the summer (from May to October).

The chapel was built in 1885 in the neo-Gothic style. It was built by Leopold von Loesch for his wife Matylda, himself and his family. The chapel is empty today, and the doors are open. The chapel stands on a former Protestant cemetery, where traces of tombstones have been preserved. In the corner of the cemetery are the ruins of a morgue.

Monument to Bolek I the Strict, founder of the city of Świerzawa. His handprint is still the main element of the city's coat of arms. The monument was supposed to be built in the 1930s. Work on the monument was underway and a sandstone sculpture was already being created. However, it was not completed. The work was probably interrupted by the war. The unfinished monument survived, although in the post-war years it lost its head, which was never found. It was not until 2009 that it was completed and placed in its current location.

The church was built in 1982. Initially, it was just a presbytery enclosed by a wooden wall. The rest of the church was built over the next hundred years. Over the next few hundred years, it was rebuilt in the form of a pseudo-basilica, while being rebuilt after the destruction in 1428 and the fire in 1487. At that time, the tower was also added. The church was destroyed again in a fire in 1762 and rebuilt again. The interiors are covered with cross-ribbed vaults. On the north and west sides, there are two richly carved portals in the Gothic style.
