Inside we can see flat coved ceilings. The walls and ceilings are embellished with figural and ornamental paintings. The 18th century furnishings include three altars – the high altar with a picture of St. Martin and figure of Christ on the Cross, the left-side altar with a representation of the Holy Family, and the right-side altar with a painting of the Heart of Jesus. Below the choir gallery we can see the holy water font made from a single stone.
In 1943 new painted decorations in a style of folk art were contributed by Prof. Jan Wodyński. In 1957 new polychrome paintings were added. New pipe organs, manufactured by the Czech company Rieger, and originally located in the Jesuit church in Tarnopol, were installed in the church.
Since the new church was built in 2003, the old one has no longer been used for religious ceremonies.
