The Corpus Christi Church in Głogów is a late Baroque church located in the old town near the town hall, originally built as a modest chapel first mentioned in 1403 and later expanded into a Jesuit church designed by Italian architect Giulio Simonetti between 1696-1702.

The church was heavily damaged during World War II bombing in 1945, losing its roof and both tower spires, which were only restored in 2019 after over 70 years. The restored church now stands 50 meters tall with its distinctive copper-clad spires topped by symbolic elements including a chalice and cross.

The famous Romantic writer, musician, and painter E.T.A. Hoffmann painted some of the church's frescoes during restoration work in 1795-1797 while serving his legal practice in Głogów, and later immortalized the church in his fantastic tale "Die Jesuitenkirche in G." (around 1817).
