Entrance to the Ruins of Wolnu Palace. The palace, founded by the von Unwurde family, was built in the first half of the 16th century. It later became the property of the von Kreckwitz family. In 1850, the palace was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style by von Richter. The estate changed owners several times: the Bomsdorf family, Count Kayserlink, and Henckel von Donnermarck. The last owner was Aurel von Riitberg and his wife Ilse. In February 1945, as the front was passing, the palace was plundered and burned. Since then, it has fallen into ruin.

Today, the Children of Głogów Monument is not only a significant element of the cityscape, but above all a place of remembrance and tribute to the victims who contributed to preserving Polish independence. It is a unique commemoration that is moving and prompts reflection on the ultimate price one can pay for freedom.

The famous Romantic writer, musician, and painter E.T.A. Hoffmann painted some of the church's frescoes during restoration work in 1795-1797 while serving his legal practice in Głogów, and later immortalized the church in his fantastic tale "Die Jesuitenkirche in G." (around 1817).

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 was unveiled on the 40th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II and the 870th anniversary of Głogów's defense during the Polish-German war.

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 church changed hands between Catholics and Protestants multiple times - it was seized by Protestants in 1581, returned to Catholics in 1628, given back to Protestants under Swedish occupation in 1633-1634, and finally returned to Catholic control after 1650. French troops used the church as a military warehouse in 1812, and the building survived being struck by lightning in 1473 which destroyed the interior of its tower.

Remains of the most important parish church on the left bank of the city, originally built as a late-Romanesque basilica in the 1230s-1240s and later rebuilt in Gothic style after a devastating fire in 1291. The church suffered numerous disasters throughout its history, including multiple fires, lightning strikes, and wartime damage, before being completely destroyed in 1945 during World War II. The preserved Gothic walls, partial vaults, and partially damaged tower now serve as a monument to the wartime destruction of Głogów, with plans to convert the nave into an amphitheater.
