Corpus Christi church in Głogów

Corpus Christi Church is a Baroque building in Głogów featuring twin spires and a decorated facade. The interior contains painted vaults, columns, and large windows that create varied spatial effects throughout the worship area.

The building began as a chapel in 1403 and was transformed into a Baroque church between 1696 and 1702 under architect Giulio Simonetti as part of a Jesuit college complex. This reconstruction marked a major shift from its original modest form to a grand religious structure.

The interior walls display religious artworks, including frescoes created by E.T.A. Hoffmann during the restoration period between 1795 and 1797.

Access to the interior is usually available, but checking opening hours in advance is recommended. The church can be entered on foot and is located in the town center, making it easy to reach from nearby streets.

The interior was enhanced with frescoes created by E.T.A. Hoffmann during restoration between 1795 and 1797, an unusual role for the notable German writer. These painted works remain a distinctive artistic contribution to the church's visual character.
