The Northwest Necropolis Church in Hadrianopolis, one of the cities of the Paphlagonia, is located southwest of the central area, 20 m northwest of the Bath B. Started 2017, excavations at the Northwest Necropolis Church were completed in 2021. The south and apse wall of the church came today at the foundation level, while the north and west came today at a height ranging between 1 m and 2 m. It is understood that the walls of the building were heavily damaged because of agricultural activities. Due to the extensive destruction of the body wall, no trace of the location, dimensions and position of the windows could be found. The only data about the windows are fragments of the windowpanes discovered during the excavations. Fragments of the windowpanes were unearthed in large quantities. The edges of some of the windowpanes were examined to get ideas about the frame. In addition, the paste residues that came today on the edges of some fragments were analyzed in lab to determine the ingredients. In this study, in the light of all datas, how the illumination in the Northwest Necropolis Church could have been, the technique with which the windowpanes were made, how many windows openings could be in which direction, in interpretation of the analysis results and the color scale were mentioned.
