- Description
- The neo-Gothic organ choir, modelled on the motifs of the oriel of the castle in Dębno near Tarnów, was designed by Jan Matejko. The bust of St Cecilia, patron saint of sacred music, placed on the choir's central console was forged by Zygmunt Langman in 1890. The saint's features were lent by the sculptor's wife (according to others, Teodora, Matejko's wife).
