Głogów Church Ruins Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Corpus Christi Church in Głogów

Highlight • Religious Site

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 Monument to the Children of Głogów, located near the Głogów Dukes' Castle, commemorates the tragic events of 1109 when German King Henry V tied local children to siege machines during his assault on the fortress.

The monument was designed by Bulgarian sculptor Dimitri Petrov Vacev and unveiled on September 1, 1979, built from public donations initiated by the Głogów Cultural Society. The granite sculpture depicts children bound to siege machinery, symbolizing their suffering and desire for freedom, with an inscription from Gallus Anonymus's chronicle stating that it is better to die by the sword for the homeland than to serve foreign nations.

The Castle of the Dukes of Głogów is the most important historical building in Głogów, dating back to the 13th century. Initially a stronghold of the Piast princes, later rebuilt into a baroque residence, today it houses the Archaeological and Historical Museum. The Gothic Hunger Tower – the oldest part of the castle – and the interesting post-war reconstruction of the building attract attention. There are other attractions around the castle, such as the Monument to the Children of Głogów and the pink Bridge of Tolerance. This is a must-see stop during a bicycle visit to the city – you can easily park your bike nearby and explore the interior on foot.
