The two side altars were created in the third quarter of the 18th century, and were made at Korneckis' workshop. They were probably bought from another church in 1786. In terms of their architectonic structure, both altars represent an aedicula-type reredos. They are very similar to other altars made by Korneckis' workshop, e.g. the reredos of the Holy Trinity and st. Rosalie in Bochnia, the side altars in Zakliczyn and two side altars in Gdów.
