It was erected on the site of Prince Louis I's former Gothic hunting lodge from the late 14th century and has been rebuilt many times over the years. Olawa's town hall dates from the first half of the 19th century. On its Baroque tower, a remnant from the previous town hall, is a 17th-century figural-astronomical clock with moving figures. Inside is the worthwhile Museum Chamber of Olawa Land, a small regional museum that collects antiquities, coins and postcards from Olawa and the surrounding area, as well as a collection of militaria or exhibitions of sculptures and ceramics by local artists. Several beautiful Baroque townhouses can also be seen in the area.

It is worth taking a walk in the city park located in the southern part of Olawa along the Olawka River. Also nearby is an old Jewish cemetery with dozens of preserved matzevot.
