Abstract

The altar was made in 1712 during Stanisław Broniewski's ministration years. In 1899, a new altar finial was added to the reredos. The reredos represents the aedicula type, i.e. a one-axis and one-storey reredos with the altar finial located on a pair of structural supports. Almost the entire central area is covered by a rectangular niche. Such reredoses were common already in the first half of the 17th century and were occurring throughout the 18th century.
