Because of its strategic geographical situation, remains of the Defence Line of 'Poznań' Army, including reinforced concrete bunkers, can be seen near Konin.

The town of Konin is split up into two historical parts - Stary Konin (The Old Town), situated on the south bank of Warta River and Nowy Konin (The New Konin), outspread northwards from the river and built up mainly after 1945.


There are several examples of Postmodernism and postmodernist architecture in Konin. We can find in the town a few newly built buildings with predominance of postmodernist features, but there are much more examples of building, houses and so on being rebuilt and refurbished partly and thus having conspicuous postmodernist character of its elements built in or inset as a part of larger entity belonging to older styles in architecture, mainly Socialist Realism (on average in New Konin) or Eclecticism (usually in The Old Town). Ten kilometres from Konin in Licheń Stary there is huge monastery with numerous churches and great basilica, an example of Catholic ecclesiastical Postmodernism in Poland.
