The building is covered by a 25-meter copper sloping roof. And its 18-meter high interior was closed with a gothic star vault supported by five pairs of strong pillars.
Just under the beautiful vault, in the back of the collegiate church, there is a choir. Expanded in 1914, today it catches the attention of not only sound lovers but also architectural experts. During this extension, the chancel located there gained a beautiful crystal ceiling finial.
In 1895, the faithful were accompanied by 32-voice organs during masses and services. Those standing there were ordered today by an unforgettable priest of our collegiate church, priest Józef Kubis. In 1941 it was made by the "Rieger" company from the Czech Krnov. During the last renovation of the organs in 1996, they were again enlarged by an additional section - Spanish trumpets, which is a special group of voices that sound extremely strong.
On the pulpit located on the right side of the stucco nave, there is the figure of Sibyl holding the shield of the Holy Spirit and the book of the Gospel with the names of evangelists. It was funded by the community of vicars, and it was done in the classical style in 1805 by the Wrocław stucco Hans Echtler.

How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
