The palace of lawyer Samuel Hershhorin is located on the central street of Derazhnia.

The one-story residential building in the Art Nouveau style was built in 1910. Later, a gymnasium was located here, which in 1921 was repurposed into a labor school, and later into a house of pioneers. Due to an error in the documents, the building received the status of an architectural monument of local importance as the "Mansion of the private lawyer Perytorin".

In 2022, the building was purchased at an auction by the founder of the "Spadshchyna.Ua" initiative, Hanna Havryliv. She plans to use the Gershhorin Palace to develop the tourism potential of Derazhnia. The restoration of the monument has begun, research work is being carried out.

The Historical Museum of the Central Railway (formerly South-West) named after Borys Oliynyk was opened in 2001 at the "Derazhnia" railway station.

The former mansion of the Ratsiborovsky family in Derazhnia is now one of the buildings of the local hospital.

The estate in Derazhnia was founded at the end of the 18th century by the banker Petro Tepper, who greatly contributed to the economic development of the town. Near the center of the town, Tepper built a small palace surrounded by a park.

In 1844, Stanislav Ratsiborovsky became the owner of Derazhnia. His descendants reconstructed the palace in the Art Nouveau style in 1902.

In Soviet times, the building was rebuilt as a hospital, as a result of which it almost completely lost its historical appearance.

The modern church of Saint Anna in Derazhnia was built in 2000 on the site of the cemetery chapel, which in Soviet times served as the only Catholic church in the city.

The first wooden Catholic church in Derazhnia existed as early as the 17th century. In 1726, it was rebuilt (again from wood) at the expense of the owner of Derazhnia, Antoniy Lyubomyrskyi. In the 1840s, a new stone church was built on the initiative of one of the last owners of the town, Stanislav Ratsiborovskyi. Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed in the 1930s.

For a long time, local Catholics were forced to use a small chapel in the cemetery on the way out of the city in the direction of Khmelnytskyi for religious services. Today, a new majestic neo-Gothic church of Saint Anna with two pointed towers rises here.
