The Church of St. Nicholas was built in the 1330s and 1340s. In 1945 it was destroyed and has remained a ruin ever since, periodically undergoing protective works. The ruins of the church have preserved the Gothic form along with reconstructions from the Middle Ages and later centuries. The Gothic peripheral walls, part of the Gothic and Baroque vaults, the northern arcade between the naves and the partially destroyed tower have also been preserved. After being secured, the tower is a monument - a symbol of the destruction of Głogów during World War II.

Hiking

Remains of the most important parish church on the left bank of the city, originally built as a late-Romanesque basilica in the 1230s-1240s and later rebuilt in Gothic style after a devastating fire in 1291. The church suffered numerous disasters throughout its history, including multiple fires, lightning strikes, and wartime damage, before being completely destroyed in 1945 during World War II.

The preserved Gothic walls, partial vaults, and partially damaged tower now serve as a monument to the wartime destruction of Głogów, with plans to convert the nave into an amphitheater.
