Old church of St. Bartheomeo in Gliwice

The church features a western tower constructed of brick, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and defensive elements integrated into its architectural design.

Originally built in 1232 outside the city walls, the structure underwent major modifications in the 15th century to incorporate Gothic architectural elements.

The building holds special status in the Polish cultural heritage register, representing the religious and architectural traditions of medieval Silesia.

Located at Toszecka 38 in Gliwice, the church maintains regular opening hours and conducts religious services, including confessions and adorations.

The western tower differs from typical church steeples, as it was designed with military functionality rather than purely religious purposes.
