The St. Martin chapel is built into the southern section on the 1st floor, which was closed in 1988 due to its dilapidation and has been falling into disrepair since then; there is no concept of preservation. It contains a church organ from March with 12 registers. The facility is completely listed. It was probably last used in 1988. In 2017, tabernacles and relics were removed from the altar and the church building was profaned.
