It was part of the city fortifications. Built in the 15th century, it served as a defensive tower at the Głogów Gate (hence its name). The inhabitants often used a different name - the jackdaw tower - due to the jackdaws nesting there. It is a 6-storey building. In the lower part, up to a height of 1.5 m, the base is a wall made of erratic boulders. There are also traces of a medieval defensive wall that runs from the Głogów tower to a small watchtower, about 200 steps away. Inside the tower, on the 2nd and 3rd floors, there is an ornament made of glazed heads. A city clock was installed on the sixth floor. Until the mid-18th century, the city guard chimed the hours on the tower by hitting the bell with a hammer. The aforementioned clock was installed in 1765. Numerous arrowslits in the wall of the tower testify to the defensive nature of the building. Under the tower there is a passage made for the convenience of pedestrians, covered with a barrel vault. The tower of the Głogów Gate is a significant architectural element of the city. Occasionally, it serves as a place for exhibitions and exhibitions. After the revitalization carried out in 2017, it serves as a viewing point from January 2018. The tower can be visited every Wednesday and Thursday from 12.00 to 15.00 and on the first and third Saturday and the second and fourth Sunday of each month from 14.00 - 17.00. For organized groups, it is possible to visit at other times, after making an appointment with the Culture Center in Góra.
