In the late Baroque building tradition, the nave has a front yoke and a square yoke with square vaults and a flat, round triumphal arch separates the nave from the choir. The square vaulted choir is currently closed. The church was given new decorations in 1871, but the ceiling paintings that were created at that time were changed again by Thomas Köhle around 1900 . Wolfram Köberl painted today's vaulted ceiling in 1978: The baroque illusion painting in the chancel seems to open the vault to the sky. The theme is the “Dream of St. Joseph". The ceiling painting in the main room, which shows the birth of Christ, is designed in a similar manner.
