What does the church in Gać look like?
The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a Gothic branch church, mentioned since 1306 and listed as a monument in 1957. The chancel and sacristy were built in the first half of the 14th century. It is a single-nave brick building with a three-sided chancel, steep shingle roofs and pointed windows with tracery. Around the middle of the 15th century the interior was decorated with paintings.
What remains of the palace and the farm?
The 18th-century palace in Gać forms, with the former manor farm, a complex entered in the register of monuments. It includes a former distillery, an outbuilding, a granary, an ice house and the grounds of old gardens. The complex was rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries, so its present look is the result of many changes.
