Abstract

Two side altars were built probably around 1700. Probably at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the reredos was rebuilt. New altar final and aureole were added to the structure at that time, new paintings were inserted and a stone altar was built. Most probably, the altar finial of reredoses originally looked like the altar final of the adjacent side altar. Architecture of the reredoses in the part of a tier is based on a simple aedicula scheme. This type of altar appeared in Lesser Poland already in the first half of the 17th century.
