Description
The Early Gothic pointed-arched, tripartite lancet extends in height from the frieze separating the basement of the church to the base of the gable. It is articulated with four shafts in the form of columns with bases and capitals, separating three sharply closed slender arcades. The top of the gable is filled with a trillium form, into the interior of which is inscribed a painted decoration on plaster, in the form of six-leaved rosettes. On the sides, outside the gable, two plaster-painted circles are arranged. A dark glazed brick was used in the brick surround of the gable, in the arch and in the left vertical part of the surround.
