High altar and choir stalls

Baroque high altar and choir stalls in the collegiate church of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Koronowo. Two-story stalls, from the end of the 17th century, are located on both sides of the presbytery. They are decorated with bas-reliefs and thresholds in the shape of lying lions and topped with canopies with openwork decorations. The stalls have carved casings with painted images of St. Benedict and St. Bernard. In addition, one-story stalls were placed in the transept.The construction of the post-Cistercian church, which lasted until the mid-fourteenth century, began in 1289 in the Gothic style. After many damages and reconstructions at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, thanks to the efforts of Abbot Ignacy Bernard Gniński (1686-1706), the church was given a baroque style and equipped with an altar, paintings, a pulpit, a music choir, and choir stalls.
