Abstract

The article presents the results of research on the parish church of Nativity of the Blessed  Virgin Mary in Głubczyce. In the introduction presents a analysis of written and iconographic sources and discusses the current literature on the subject. Based on architectural research and comparative analysis, it was considered that the first church was probably built in the third quarter of the 13th century and consisted of a rectangular two-span presbytery, sacristy and a three-nave basilica body with an unfinished tower massif. It was passed to the patronage of
The Knights Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in the 1279. Probably in the first half of the 14th century, the presbytery was enlarged and the body was transformed into a hall layout with western and southern portals. After leaving the temple by the Knights of St. John in 1526, in 1579 the south tower was raised, crowning it with a Renaissance helmet.
