The tympanum of the church portal in Wysocice bears a mystery. In the center, there is Christ, sitting on the throne, and trampling two beasts. Christ blesses with his right hand, and in his left hand, he holds the symbol of the resurrection - across with a flag. On one side the Nativity is depicted, and on the other, a bishop is kneeling with a chalice and a monk with his hands raised. This tympanum may have been originally in a Norbertine convent from where it may have been transferred to Wysocice. In case the tympanum, probably carved in the early 13th century, was created for this church, the donor can only be Bishop Iwo Odrową.
