Furnishing

The ceiling and walls are decorated with decorative paintings from around 1900. The wooden altar with gilded Rocailles decor was made around 1764 in the late Rococo style . The stipes have beveled corners with volutes . The base zone continues laterally in front of the oblique axes and is delimited by volute templates. The structure is concave . In the middle, above a small tabernacle-like shrine, a curved panel bears a figure of the Pietà under the cross. On the side there are volute models, and on the outside there are Corinthian free columns. In the altar extension , a heart in a halo is flanked by two volutes each.

The chairs with curved plank cheeks probably date from the second half of the 18th century. One of the wooden figures is a popularly made crucifix from the first half of the 19th century. The second figure from the middle of the 18th century probably represents St. Ignatius.
