The Głogów Town Hall's origins date back to the late 13th century when a watchtower was built, later expanded into a two-wing masonry town hall in 1349, though it was destroyed by fires in 1420, 1433, and most significantly in 1574 after which it was rebuilt in Renaissance style. The building underwent major reconstruction between 1823-1835 according to architect A. Soller's design, creating two contrasting wings: western in Prussian classicism style and eastern in fashionable Florentine style.

After being severely damaged and burned out during the 1945 fighting for Głogów, the town hall was reconstructed from 1984-2002 and now houses the Municipal Office.

In the 19th century, the town hall's clock had reversed hands - the large hand showed hours while the small hand showed minutes, which frequently caused confusion and disputes between visitors and locals, though the residents took pride in this unique feature that distinguished their city.
