AB Remarkable space above the sacristy in the church of St. Ignatius, interpreted in the Baroque period as an order oratory, became a suitable place for a common liturgy of renewed activity of The Marian sodality of men and youth at this church. The chapel was newly modified for this purpose by decorating and a setting in a gallery with a staircase together with a new main altar decorated by paintings and sculpture. The chapel was consecrated on the 15th May 1904. Sometime after 1990 the altar was dismantled and only few fragments are preserved today. The author aims at the reconstruction of the original appearance of the altar based on sources, literature, historic photo documentation and the preserved parts, and to contribute to coherent recognition of the original movable equipment of the chapel (mainly the banners and other art decoration) from the turn of the 20th century with a relation to historically documented Marian sodalities acting in this liturgical space.
