During the Second World War about 90 per cent of Glogow was destroyed. The present reconstruction works are being carried out with the aim of restoring the historic appearance of the town and by extension making it more attractive to the inhabitants and visitors alike.

When in Glogow, you should see the castle, which was reconstructed in the years 1971-1983 and now houses the Historical and Archaeological Museum. The Town Hall has also undergone reconstruction, taking 20 years and today is home to the Municipal Council. Its Tower, reconstructed to look like the original one, rises to 80 meters, making it one of the highest town hall towers in Silesia. Currently being restored, Collegiate Church belongs to the oldest houses of worship in the area, as it was erected back in the times of the first rulers from the Piast dynasty. The Glogow theatre and St. Nicholas’s Church, though still in ruins, are worth taking a look at, too.

Every year since 1984 the town has been the venue for the Glogow Jazz Festival, one of the most prestigious festivals in the region of Lower Silesia, featuring the best local and international performers.

Remarkable for their post-glacial landscape, Glogow’s surroundings offer good opportunities for hiking and biking.
