The north shows a heart and an anchor , the south a cross and a white dove . There is a brick chimney on the eastern gable .

Inside there is a wooden inscription panel in the access area. The main inscription of this in squiggly Gothic script reads: "But man examine himself and so he eat of the bread and drink of the chalice" ("Cor. 11 V 28").
