After the Thirty Years War the roof was not renewed until 1664. Most of the windows were later changed. An eight-sided, wooden roof tower with a pointed helmet was later built over the west gable. Wooden galleries are built inside. The richly painted wooden ceiling with an inscription from 1679 is remarkable. There are ornaments and medallions with Christ and the apostles on it . The furnishings also include a simple, wooden pulpit and a baroque baptismal stand made of wrought iron.
