Church organs
The text is a calander which describes in short the history of a church. The troublesome word comes from the following:
Działania wojenne niszczą kościół, (...) kontuar zdewastowany...
I suspect that it might be the organ console, or desk - but I haven't been able to confirm it.

All suggestions very gratefully received :-)

a desk or a counter
Can you find one in a church? It is a kind of a counter that a shop assistant stands behind?!
