Description
The bronze tombstone of Erasmus Danigiel (d. 1624), in Renaissance style, depicts the reclining figure of the deceased in armour. Above is an oval plaque with an image of the Virgin and Child and a shield with h. Danigiel. Around the plaque runs an inscription along the lines of tombstones found in the Middle Ages. Erazm Danigiel was buried in the basement of the chapel.
