These massive stones, embedded in church's walls, are not tombstones but so called epitaph stones or "epitaphs". Typical for Renaissance era, they are describing life of famous persons (...and also often depicting them as reliefs) burried in the church. The coordinates (and photos) are assigning and depicting southern wall of the Church - where are two epitaphs of noblemen from 16th century. Thanks to the time, inscriptions are mostly unreadable, but artictic beauty of both artefacts is still visible.
