Prince Franz I donated three neo-baroque altars with copies of old masters to the church in 1929 . During renovation work according to plans by the architect Felix Schmid from Rapperswil, the chapel was given its current appearance in 1955. In the course of this work u. a. the western tower was replaced by a hexagonal wooden roof turret above the choir, in which a bell from 1724 hangs. In addition, the main entrance was covered and a sacristy was added to the south . The building was renovated inside and out in 2007.
