The ornate paintwork and frescoes on the vault ceiling was completed in 1727.[14] They feature images of Saint Casimir, Sigismund III and Hedwig of Silesia.[14]
The most distinctive attribute and a treasure of the sanctuary is the moving pipe organ, erected in the years 1719-1721 by Johann Josua Mosengel.[15][16] The decorative figures and sculptures move as the organ is being played, making it one of the most unique instruments ever made.[16][17] In 1944, it was damaged but repaired soon after.
The Jesuits were eventually removed from the Święta Lipka monastery by the Prussians after the Partitions of Poland in the 18th century.[18] They returned to the convent in 1932.

Furthermore, it remains an outstanding example of Baroque art and architecture.[19]
