The interior of the church is spanned by a flat ceiling. On the west side there is a gallery from the construction period. The church stalls and the pulpit are also from the construction period.
Much older is a late Gothic carved retable from around 1520 , which comes from the previous building and was restored in 1904. The Lord's Supper is depicted in its central shrine. The inner wings show Mary and John the Baptist . Other images show saints in front of landscapes, such as Anna Selbdritt with a Catherine arranged below, a nun kneeling in front of a church and an Erasmus above Margareta.
