On the south side of the ship there is a walled-in return portal with inlaid round bars in the throats. The choir is closed with a domical vault . The nave, which is connected to the choir by a heavy pointed triumphal arch , ends with a late Gothic star vault, which was probably built at the same time as the roof, which was renewed in 1429 (d).
In the vaults of the choir there are still paintings from the end of the 13th century that show the coronation of Mary and the death of Mary as well as the twelve apostles and Mary and Christ enthroned between saints. They were restored around 1900.
