The county seat lies on the Prosna, approx. 120 km south-east of Poznań. It is a major tourism centre.

The town hall was built in 1360. It was one of the most impressive baroque buildings in Poland when it was rebuilt in 1593. Unfortunately, the Prussians demolished it in 1914. It was rebuilt in 1925 to a design by Sylwester Pajzderski. The clock in the tower has a 3-metre diameter face.
