The interior hides several unique monuments, such as a stone bowl-shaped baptismal font, supported on the backs of lions, and a wooden boatshaped pulpit supported by four naked mermaids. The document being the basis for below edition is stored in the Diocesan Archives in Kielce. This manuscript has not yet been published and exploited to a greater extent by historians.
