The building with mirrored ceiling and cove as well as a curved triumphal arch has high-quality stucco and fresco decoration , which was carried out around 1763 by Franz Martin Kuen . The triumphal arch is provided with the alliance coat of arms of the Barons von Rechberg , the patron saint at the time , and a chronogram .

The two side altars, the pulpit and the font , all from around 1670/80, were acquired around 1910. The high altar was created in 1910 by Georg Saumweber.
