history
The Gothic chapel was built in 1339 for Archbishop Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki . In 1540 Jörg Algajer from Ulm created a renaissance tombstone for the canon Stanisław Rożnowski . The chapel was expanded in the early Baroque style between 1623 and 1625 and an epitaph was added for the donors of the reconstruction, Scholaster Stanisław Skarszewski . The early baroque altar dates from 1636 and the rococo altar by Francesco Placidi from 1761. The altarpiece for the latter was created by Walenty Janowski . The classicist tomb Michał Bogoria Skotnickis was created in 1811 by Stefano Ricci .
