Abstract
The article is about the Templars and their life and work in Glogovnica. The order, even though very important, is secretive and not much is known about it. The article starts with the foundation of the order and their activities in Europe and then focuses on the year 1240, when in Glogovnica, where the Templars possessed land, the general assembly of the order was organized. This fact means that Glogovnica-based Templars were highly respected among their fellow brethren. The paper also gives information on sources that mentioned Glogovnica for the first time and its significance in history.
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, located in Glogovnica and the parish house are of a great artistic value.
The paper closes with the biography of Hugues de Payens, an important Templar from French region of Payen and with taking templars’ possession by the hospitalers.
