One of the few ornamental samples left over from the Ottoman past of the city is the stone fountain situated in the eastern ring road of Kilkis. This square construction made of carved stones that,in its main face, form a pointed arch.
The fountain was built in 1821 according to the wall plate above the spout, which bears an inscription in Arabic characters that translates as follows: "In the name of the Highest God –pray for the builders of this fountain." The inscription bears a date under the old Turkish calendar, i.e. 1199 year Hijra, which is converted to 1821 AC, according to the Christian calendar.
According its French legend, the building was constructed in 1853. It operated as a Catholic abbey of nuns, becoming the core of Catholics and Unites, who lived in Kilkis before its liberation in 1913.
In 1915 the headquarters of the allied troops was settled here, whilethe building was renovated in 1993 and has since been operated as a conservatory of the Metropolis of Kilkis.
This building was built in 1925 and operated for about 60 years as a branch of the National Bank of Greecein Kilkis. Then, it became the property of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kilkis, which was housed in the building after renovation. The building is designated as a landmark from the Fourth Mansion of Modern Monuments.
During the time that the headquarters of the Kaza of the Ottoman Empire was transferred from Gynaikokastro (AvretHissar) to Kilkis, theCommand Center was built by French engineers. As such, it continued to operate after 1913 and during the German occupation, when the German garrison headquarters was moved here. After the liberation and up until 1978 the services of the Prefecture were housed here. The building is classified as a monument and is intended to be a gallery and a history file house.

The building of the Austrian-Greek tobacco warehouse is located on N.Panagiotou 50 Street in the city of Kilkis. It has been declared by the Ministry of Culture as a historic monument and a work of art, while its construction dates back to 1920.
