The Evangelical Reformed parish church , formerly St. John the Baptist , was built as a hall church after a fire in 1307 , probably the successor to the original monastery church of the Cistercian monastery Burghagen , which was moved to Falkenhagen in 1247 , is located on a high terrace on the northwestern edge of the old town . The interior has a late Gothic sacrament niche of 1489. Those with flat carvings provided galleries are from the second half of the 17th century. Further furnishings include a chandelier from the 2nd half of the 17th century and the epitaph of Burkhard von Kanne zu Breitenhaupt († 1580) and his wife Anna von Exterde. The Emmaus panel in the choir (around 1670) is one of the most important paintings of this time in the Westphalian area.
Of Schwalenberg Castle , which was built by Volkwin IV in 1228–1231 , only the main building is completely preserved. The existing residential building was substantially rebuilt in 1627/28, partially demolished in 1726 and 1802 and 1806 and comprehensively renovated in the style of the late Weser Renaissance in 1911-13. Today, Schwalenberg Castle houses a restaurant and holiday apartments.
The most important building of the small town is the half-timbered Schwalenberg town hall . The two-story core building, which contained a sales hall behind an open arbor on the ground floor , was built in 1579. The left annex was added in 1603 in order to obtain a heatable council chamber. In 1907 the building on the right-hand side was expanded considerably. Stylistically, they were based on the decorative shapes of the old building. The wood of the original building is richly carved. There are fan rosettes and figurative representations on the parapet planks . The annex, which is only a little more recent, has tendril ornaments and fittings .

Schwalenberg city center is still characterized by numerous half-timbered residential buildings , the oldest of which date from the 16th century. Some houses still have the typical cover of thin sandstones from the Solling region that is typical for the Weser region . To be emphasized are:
- Brauergildestrasse 4. Two-storey hall house from 1601
- Brauergildestrasse 5. Hall building from 1611 with richly carved gate beam.
- Brauergildestrasse 21 (Löwenapotheke). Simple eaves house with a classical front door, marked 1767.
- Marktstraße 32. The simple hallway house impresses above all with its symmetrically arranged lights on the front.
- Papenwinkel 2 . Four-column construction from 1592
The listed Jewish cemetery is also noteworthy .
