    Tips

    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.

      The church changed hands between Catholics and Protestants multiple times - it was seized by Protestants in 1581, returned to Catholics in 1628, given back to Protestants under Swedish occupation in 1633-1634, and finally returned to Catholic control after 1650.

      French troops used the church as a military warehouse in 1812, and the building survived being struck by lightning in 1473 which destroyed the interior of its tower.
