Summary/Abstract: Despite its high artistic quality, the architecture of the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene at Zamysłów (Hinzendorf) has not as yet been separately studied. The foundation of the building was initiated by Fr Philip Valentin Hoffman, and it was financed by the Poor Clares of the Głogów Convent with construction works having been completed by 1752. The conducted formal analysis allows to identify the resemblance of the church's layout to that of the Benedictine Church at Legnickie Pole (1727-1731) designed by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.
