The remains of the defensive walls in Głuchołazy are relics of the medieval fortifications that were created in the mid-14th century on the order of Bishop Przecław of Pogorzela.
During the Hussite invasion in 1428, the walls were partially destroyed and, under the concluded agreement, were to be demolished. Ultimately, their height was lowered, and in the following decades, they were rebuilt again. The gradual liquidation of the walls took place after Silesia was seized by Prussia and fortresses were erected in Nysa, Kłodzko, and Srebrna Góra. To this day, the largest fragment of the defensive walls has survived on M. Curie-Skłodowska Street, next to the buildings of the former vogt's house.
