In the middle of the 17th century a sacristy and a well chapel were added. In 1725 there was a redesign. To the west is a connecting passage to the former leper house, which has an oratory on the upper floor. Next to it is the sacristan and guest house.

The late Gothic Mindelheim clan (see Holy Clan ) from the so-called master of the Mindelheim clan is remarkable . The high altar was created by the sculptor Georg Schenck around 1645.
