History
[edit]The first town hall in Głogówek existed since the middle half of the fourteenth century, the building was used for commerce. In exactly the same location, in 1608, a new building to house the local authorities was built. In the years 1659-1660 the building was renovated after being plundered by Swedes. In 1774, the town hall was decorated with wall paintings and molding, and in 1890 the building was renovated in the spirit of Historicism, with which the interior was also modernised.[2] During World War II, the building was partially burnt down, and subsequently rebuilt between 1955 and 1957.[3]
