Bernardine Church

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:19:26

Northwest of the Rynek is the Bernardine Church , with its opulent furnishings and decoration. It was built for Ligęza as his mausoleum, and there are eight life-sized alabaster effigies of his family in the side walls of the chancel. In the gilded chapel to the right is an early-16th-century statue of the Virgin Mary to which numerous miracles have been attributed; wall paintings on both sides dating from the 17th and 18th centuries showed 100 people who were cured.
