The Town Hall in Głubczyce is a 21st-century reconstruction of the Renaissance edifice, which was destroyed during World War II. Currently, the building houses the Museum of the Głubczyce Land and a library, and in the town hall tower – a viewpoint. In the adjacent rebuilt merchant tenement houses, there are apartments and service premises. The original Głubczyce town hall edifice was created as a result of the reconstruction of a 13th-century merchant house located in the town market square. In the second half of the 16th century, the edifice gained a Renaissance form with a richly decorated attic, and a tower with a clock made in Wrocław stood in its vicinity. At the beginning of the 17th century, the building was consumed by fire, and the rebuilt tower received sgraffito decoration. On the ground floor of the building, there was a detention center, the court chamber of the town mayor, the royal tax sub-office and the municipal chamber treasury, and the apartment of a police official. From north to south stood benches for selling bread and footwear, and then fair booths and firefighting equipment. On the first floor, there was the Princely Liechtenstein Town and Country Court. In the second half of the 19th century, the building of the Głubczyce town hall was rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style according to the design of the famous Wrocław architect Karl Lüdecke, and in the 1930s the hall and rooms of the Savings Bank in the town hall were rebuilt under the direction of Paul Klehr. In 1945, the town hall burned down. Its burnt-out ruin was gradually dismantled in later years, until finally only the stump of the tower and the ground floor masonry remained. The reconstruction of the edifice took place in 2008. Practical information: Parking spaces on Sukiennicza Street (paid parking zone).
