history
The Gothic chapel was built in 1364. From 1420 to 1603 it served as a chapter house. It was later connected to the Rogowski Chapel . Between 1873 and 1884 it was rebuilt as a burial chapel by Teofil Żebrawski for Prince Władysław Czartoryski . At that time, the Gothic altar was composed of figures from other Gothic altars, including the Jan Obracht triptych from the Jan Olbracht Chapel by Stanislaus Stoss . The epitaph for the Czartoryski goes back to Antoni Madeyski . The last renovation at the beginning of the 20th century was carried out by Zygmunt Hendel in 1906 . The Art Nouveau frescoes from 1909 go back to Karol Maszkowski .
