The town centre planning layout is based on the original foundation layout. In the centre there is a rectangular marketplace with the statue of Jakub Wejher, the founder of the town, in the middle.
The Town Hall in neo-Baroque style dating from 1908. It houses an exhibition room presenting the tradition and history of the region.
The Holy Trinity Collegiate Church built in the years 1754-1755 in place of a half-timbered church dated to 1643. It contains valuable objects that should not escape one’s attention, namely late Baroque and Rococo altars, the pulpit, the baptismal font, a forged chandelier as well as stained glass windows from 1888, 1928 and 1946. A little west of the Church there is a fragment of a churchyard wall from the mid-17th century.
A little hospital at the Collegiate Church built in 1740. A unique example of small-town timbered-framed architecture. It was a poorhouse and a hospital for a long time. Now it is a shop selling devotional items.
The Franciscan monastic complex with St Ann Church is both the oldest and most important town’s monument. The church was built in the years 1648-1649. In the side altar there is a Baroque painting of the Mother of God of Wejherowo which is famous for its miraculous properties. On the chancel wall one may see a polychrome presenting the founders of the monastery, Wejher and his wife Anna, nee Schaffgotsch, and the oldest panorama of Wejherowo which, unfortunately, is obscured by the main altar. Below the church there are crypts with the remains of the Wejher, Schaffgotsch and Przebendowski families. The present building was erected in 1755. The only remaining part of the original haft-timbered church from 1649 is the cellar with a barrel vault. After the monastery had been taken over by Prussian authorities, it was extended to become a school. At present the Franciscans are restoring the building to its late Baroque look.
The Calvary of Wejherowo is the most important place of cult in the Pomeranian Region and the third oldest Calvary in Poland (following those of Zebrzydowice and Pakość). It was started in 1649 by Jakub Wejher and completed by his family and heirs. It is located on four hills rising south of the town. They are called the Mount of Olives, Golgotha and Zion. It is looked after by the Franciscans. It comprises 25 chapels of: I- the Ascension, II- the Olive Garden, III- Judah kiss, IV- the Tomb of the Mother of God, V- on the Cedron River, VI- the Jerusalem Gate, called the East Gate, VII- the House of Annas, VIII- the Last Supper, IX- the House of the Mother of God, X- the House of Caiaphas, XI- the Palace of Pontius Pilate, XII- the House of Herod, XIII- Taking the cross, XIV- the First Fall, XV- Jesus meets his Mother, XVI- Simon of Cyrene, XVII- St Veronica, XVIII- the Gate of Tears also called the Chapel of the Second Fall, XIX- the Daughters of Jerusalem , XX- the Third Fall, XXI- Jesus stripped of His garments, XXII- the Crucifixion, XXIII- the Three Crosses, XXIV- the Tormented Mother of God, XXV- the Tomb of Jesus and the Oliwa Gate where pilgrims arriving from the Gdańsk direction were given a welcome. The Calvary was thoroughly renovated in 2006-2008.
The palace and park complex. The building of the palace among old gardens was started in 1767 by Ignacy Franciszek Przebendowski and completed around 1800 by Otto Keyserlink. Since 1993 it has been the Museum of Writing and Music of the Pomeranian and Kashubian Region. The palace is surrounded by an extensive and well-tended park which is much older than the palace itself and contains 300to400-year-old trees. On the outskirts of the park there is a summer amphitheatre where lots of concerts are held. The Museum of Writing and Music of the Pomeranian and Kashubian Region was created in 1968 in order to protect and popularize the cultural heritage of the Kashubian Region. It is rich in extensive collections of regional writing, including numerous documents connected with the town’s history. Some of these collections are found in the library’s reading room located in a 100-year-old utility building (ul. Wałowa 14a). Many periodical exhibitions connected with the culture of various regions (“little homelands”) are ogranised in the palace. Music lovers will enjoy Kashubian music concerts held in here and others may wish to come and meet some Pomeranian artists who often pay visits to the palace. One of the rooms houses an exhibition presenting the history of the Calvary and the pilgrimage movement in the Kashubian Region (open Mon-Fr, 9am-4pm).
Period buildings with shops and flats concentrated around the market square and in promenades (ul. 12 Marca and ul. Sobieskiego) date back to the latter half of the 19th century and the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Post Office building (ul. Sobieskiego 219) built in Dutch Mannerism style as well as a neo-Classical house with a corner tower, which is Marmułowski Hotel now (ul. 12 Marca 207), and two tenements situated in the north-west corner of the market square are definitely worth seeing.
St Stanislaus Kostka Church (formerly evangelical church) built in the years 1905-1908 with five impressive towers.
A monastery school with the Chapel of Leon the Great was erected in 1872 by Franciscans who had been expelled from the monastery. They soon had to leave the premises as well. The building was a boarding school for boys who were preparing for studies in a seminary. It also housed a hospital treating former concentration camps prisoners suffering from contagious diseases. In 1950s it was a small seminary. Now it is a presbytery.
The Wejherowo Gimnazjum (a lower secondary school) was built in 1866 for the purposes of a school opened 9 years earlier in old monastic buildings.
Business premises in the town centre and its borders, among others, a 19th-century brewery, storehouses of the same age and granaries and two watermills on the Cedron River.
An exclusive residential area, the west side of the town, with houses dating back to the beginning of the 20th century.
Necropolises. An old graveyard (ul.3 Maja) with gravestones from the first half of the 20th century and graves of soldiers who died for Wejherowo Region in 1939. Two cemeteries in ul. Roszczynialskiego- the communal and military ones, where over 700 Russian soldiers were buried. The old park stretching between ul. Strzelecka and ul. Sobieskiego is one of the remembrances of an old evangelical graveyard whose gravestones were removed in the 1950s.
