Information about the object:
The chapel with the stained-glass window owes its name to a copy of the miraculous painting of the Black Madonna which was placed in the altar in 1870. The chapel was traditionally cared for by a brotherhood of merchants. The brotherhood founded a stained-glass window for the chapel window depicting the Virgin Mary of Loreto surrounded by adoring angels. The stained glass window was probably created in 1897 in the workshop of Franco Mayer in Munich. It was heavily damaged during the Second World War; since the restoration carried out in the 1980s, the condition of the stained glass has deteriorated considerably.

Completed works:
In 2023, restoration work will be carried out on a stained glass window depicting the Virgin Mary among angels, located in the chapel of Our Lady of Czestochowa on the south wall of the Latin Cathedral. The work will be carried out in the workshop, after the stained glass quarters have been removed. The window opening will be protected with OSB. After cleaning and making imprints of the stained glass fields, the quatrefoils will be dismantled, the remains of old resins and adhesives will be removed. Glazing of all the glass will be carried out, retouching of the painting, replacement of colour mismatched previous restorations, gluing of cracked glass, assembling the glass conservation into new lead profiles.
