- Description
- On the mensa of the Gothic altar (3rd quarter of the 14th century) a painting of Our Lady of Grace from 1709 is set up. It was a votive offering of the townspeople for the extinction of a plague decimating the people of Cracow in 1707-1709 and was originally placed outside the church at the entrance from Florianska Street. In 1876, it was moved to the presbytery and replaced by a copy outside. The mensa with bas-relief decoration with masquerade motifs, with the old polychrome restored.
