The mausoleum was designed in the neo-Gothic style by Henryk Marconi. The sculptures were made in the years 1834-1836 by Jakub Tatarkiewicz and Konstanty Hegel from Szydłowiec sandstone. It consists of a neo-Gothic canopy placed on a large plinth, in the corners of which there are four lions holding shields with the coats of arms of the Pilawa Potocki and Drużyna Lubomirskich. The sarcophagus placed under the canopy depicts the spouses, while its sides are decorated with bas-reliefs - geniuses of death and personifications of the interests and virtues of the deceased.
