description
The south-facing small building has a three-sided end, a box cornice and outside a framed , arched , inside rectangular door. There is a small arched window on each of the long walls, inside in the north corners at the apse approach the masonry altar strip is inserted between the wall projections . The fielded wooden ceiling is in the neo-Gothic style.
The altarpiece from the first half of the 18th century is made of cased wood and has a cranked , bulged base and a round-arched shell niche with the figure of the Lord God in Rest , which was stolen. On both sides of this niche there are strongly swelling Tuscan columns with pieces of entablature. The altar extension is decorated with a heart of Jesus under a canopy with lambrequins .
The chairs with curved plank cheeks probably date from the second half of the 18th century. Ten votive tablets painted on wood , which used to be in the church, are housed in the rectory in Haselbach.
