Międzyrzecz has served as a fortified centre in the Lubusz region since the early Middle Ages. At the confluence of the Obra and Paklica rivers, it developed along routes linking Greater Poland with territories to the west. Its 14th-century castle complex, built on the site of an earlier stronghold, retains defensive walls and a moat and now houses the Międzyrzecz Museum. South of town, the Międzyrzecki Rejon Umocniony is a major German fortification system from the 1930s, with underground passages used by hibernating bats.
