On 10 November 1673, King Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki died in Lwów. According to the King’s instruction, his heart was to be deposited at the Camaldolite Church near Warsaw. It was placed in a silver tin of that shape, bearing an engraved coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with the Korybut coat of arms of the king. The Camaldolites deposited the urn in a niche in the north wall of the first span of the chancel It was covered with an epitaph painted on metal sheet, which the monks funded with their own resources presumably in early 1674. It is the only monument in the territory of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth commemorating the burial site of a Polish King’s heart.
