The term 'nave' derives from latin word  navis - a ship; it means ' a part of the church for the congregation located between a chancel (in Tyniec - the monks' choir) and the porch (in Tyniec - the choir beneath the organs) and is separated with the columns and pillars'. Its unlike character corresponds to Medieval needs. This part of the church was called chorus minor - smaller or younger choir. The participants of the liturgy ought to take second part from this place. The banister both separates but also convinces about the communion.

After thirty years of absence a black-golden late Baroque ship-shaped pulpit returned to the church. It associates with a ship, the symbol of the Church, on which Jesus Christ, according to the Gospel, preached. It is probably a fair assumption to say that the author is Franciszek Józef Mangoldt. The whole is ornamented with a net and at the bottom heads of fantastic fishes raised out of a carved wave. The composition of the pulpit is crowned with a building symbolising the Church with a figure of whorshipped Christ at the top. A woman is walking on the surface of the water next to the ship. We recognise here the allegory of faith. This figure is holding an anchor in one hand - the symbol of hope - and in the other one - a dove - the symbol of love. The whole was made of linden and pine tree, the ship shaped pulpit, popular in whole Europe in Baroque, can also be found in Cracow churches of St. Andrew and Corpus Christi.

The white walls of the church enable us to recognise the architecture. In the former Tyniec the old tradition of decorating the interior changed it thoroughly. In order to do that an incredible number of colourful fabrics was necessary.

The old tradition was to bury the dead in the church. Along the middle line there were tombs among others of abbots Konopacki, then Bartoszewski - the donor of the altar. Undoubtedly, there used to erect monuments to other abbots. Other people valued a fitting burial in the monastery - sometimes they were buried and dressed in a habit! There was a cemetery in the cloister and another one under the chapter house.
