Sain Giles church is almost invisible, considering the impact that the cathedral, just a few dozen meters ahead, has over the visitor. Still, it has a historical significance, being the oldest church in Wroclaw.
It was built in early 13th Century, in late Romanesque style, and it was basically preserved in its original shape. The entrance has a Romanesque portal with two pairs of small columns.
At least during the day the door is open but the visitor only has access to the hall from where he will be able to see the main room but not step into it.
